2016 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · GD16 GYB

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with no recorded defects across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 27 May 2026 at 25,996 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, indicating the car remains in a consistent state of roadworthiness. This lack of recorded failures or even minor advisories suggests a high standard of upkeep or very light mechanical strain over the last seven years. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally low usage for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. The records show a steady, incremental climb from 18,948 miles in May 2019 to the current 25,996 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden surges in mileage that would suggest periods of long-term neglect or heavy commercial use. The progression from 22,019 miles in July 2020 to 25,455 miles in July 2024 shows a very controlled driving pattern. While the clean MOT history is positive, the low annual mileage implies the vehicle spends significant time stationary. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of rubber components, such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and engine belts, to check for age-related perishing or cracking that MOT inspections might not always flag. It is also advisable to inspect the braking system for surface corrosion on discs or seized calipers, which frequently occurs when vehicles are driven infrequently. Given the low usage, checking the service history for oil changes is critical. Engines subjected to short trips and low mileage often face more sludge buildup and moisture accumulation than high-mileage counterparts. A thorough check of the battery health and the condition of the cooling system will also be prudent to ensure the vehicle is ready for regular use.
