2012 Skoda Yeti Elegance TDI CR 140 2.0L Heavy oil · GD12 FCO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT test on 28 January 2026 at 206,053 miles with no defects recorded. This reflects a consistent period of mechanical compliance, despite a minor setback in December 2023 at 181,087 miles which was rectified immediately to secure a pass just enough days later. The absence of advisories in the last two tests suggests the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a functional standard despite the high mileage. The mileage pattern is notably high for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,700 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between December 2021 and December 2022, where the car covered 119,437 miles in a single year. This outlier likely indicates heavy-duty commercial use or a long-distance transit period. Since 2022, the mileage accumulation has levelled to a more consistent rate of roughly 13,000 to 14,000 miles per year, which places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and rubber bushes, as the 200,000-mile threshold typically accelerates wear on artwork springs and artwork arms. While the 2017 test noted front tyres worn to the legal limit, more recent records show no recurring issues with braking performance or exhaust emissions. Given the high age and mileage, checking the chassis for structural corrosion and verifying the engine's service history for leaks is essential to ensure the high-frequency use has not led to underlying mechanical fatigue that a standard MOT test might not detect.
