2015 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · GC15 AXG

The 2015 Skoda Yeti presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 4 July 2025 at 50,888 miles recording zero defects. This marks five consecutive passes with no advisories or failures, indicating diligent upkeep and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns over the past five years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,626 miles per year. Between the July 2021 test at 35,377 miles and the July 2025 test at 50,888 miles, the car covered just 15,511 miles over four years, suggesting light use or extended periods of standing. The annual increments are steady and gradual, with no sudden spikes in mileage that would raise odometer tampering concerns. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still inspect the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and sills, as low-mileage vehicles left standing for long periods can develop rust even without MOT advisories. Tyre age and condition deserve close attention, since rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth, and the original tyres or early replacements may now be approaching ten years old. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for perishing, as infrequent use can cause seals to dry out and rubber components to deteriorate unevenly. Brake discs, calipers, and handbrake mechanisms warrant a physical inspection, since light driving can lead to uneven pad deposits and sticking calipers that may not always trigger an MOT failure. The exhaust system should be examined for corrosion, especially if the car has been used primarily for short trips that prevent moisture from evaporating. Overall, the MOT history is reassuring, but a pre-purchase inspection focused on age-related deterioration rather than mileage wear remains prudent.
