2013 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · HE04 ADE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent pass on 23 January 2026 at 152,818 miles. This result followed a curious failure recorded just eight days prior on 15 January 2026 at 152,561 miles, yet the record shows no specific defects for that failure. This discrepancy suggests a potential administrative error or a testing anomaly rather than a recurring mechanical fault, as the vehicle cleared all requirements shortly thereafter without intervention. The mileage profile remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,755 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 33,324 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. The interval of 11,241 miles between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests shows a predictable annual pattern without long periods of neglect. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been used consistently, which typically helps prevent the degradation of seals and brake-related components issues often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage components and structural areas common to this model and age. At over 150,000 miles, the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs are prone to significant wear or fatigue. Given the clean MOT history regarding corrosion, the chassis appears well-maintained, but a close look at the rear sills and mounting points is still necessary to confirm structural integrity. Check the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs, ensuring the recent clean MOT pass reflects the actual mechanical state of the braking hardware.
