2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · HX64 FCJ

The Skoda Yeti’s MOT history presents a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests between September 2021 and December 2025. The most recent inspection in December 2025 at 177,227 miles confirmed the vehicle met all DVSA requirements without advisories, suggesting no immediate mechanical or structural concerns. This consistency over four years indicates the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids major failures, though the absence of advisories does not preclude latent wear—particularly in high-mileage components. The clean slate in recent years contrasts with some peers, where minor issues might emerge over time, but it also means there’s no documented evidence of recurring neglect. The mileage accumulation is notably aggressive for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 14,769 miles per year—a figure well above the UK’s average for a 12-year-old car. The gap between the September 2021 test (154,997 miles) and the December 2022 test (160,946 miles) covers just 15 months but shows a 5,949-mile jump, while the subsequent 12-month intervals (2022–2023, 2023–2024, 2024–2025) each record increases of roughly 5,700–5,800 miles. This pattern suggests the Yeti has been driven heavily and consistently, which typically accelerates wear on suspension bushes, brake pads, and drivetrain seals. The lack of advisories in the MOTs implies these components have either been proactively replaced or have not yet reached a critical failure point, but their condition should be verified before purchase. Given the high mileage and the absence of documented advisories, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly the front lower arms, rear trailing arms, and coil springs—for signs of fatigue or bush deterioration. The brake system, including calipers, discs, and hoses, warrants close examination, as binding or uneven wear could develop without prior MOT flags. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and exposure to UK road conditions. While the MOT history is clean, the mileage suggests consumables like tyres, brake fluid, and coolant may need near-term attention, and a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would be prudent to confirm the absence of hidden wear.
