2013 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · KV63 XHM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 93,020 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as recurring mechanical and safety issues from previous years have been addressed. While the car failed tests in both 2023 and 2024, the clean sheet from the latest report indicates that the owner took action to rectify the flagged faults before the subsequent inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,155 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 82,581 miles and the November 2024 test at 87,634 miles, the car covered 5,053 miles, with another 5,386 miles recorded before the most recent test. This suggests regular annual use rather than long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the recurring mechanical issues noted in the history. The nearside front shock absorber has been flagged for light misting of oil since 2023, and a minor oil leak was also noted in 2024; a physical inspection is required to ensure these haven't progressed into a significant leak that could affect other components. Additionally, the prop shaft flexible coupling showed signs of deterioration in 2023, which should be checked for cracks or further wear to ensure drivetrain integrity. The safety-related items, such as the damaged offside rear seat belt buckle and the windscreen wiper obstruction, appear to have been resolved given their absence in the latest record. However, the buyer should still verify that the seat belt operates freely and that the wipers clear the glass entirely unobstructed. Given the previous advisory on the offside rear tyre in 2023, checking the remaining depth and wear pattern across all tyres is also advisable.
