2016 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · LS16 LKD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 March 2026 at 55,289 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a consistent history of passes over the previous four years, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained and free from significant mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 38,265 miles and March 2026 at 55,289 miles, the car covered 17,024 miles, representing a steady and moderate usage pattern. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and brakes, it can occasionally lead to age-related rubber degradation if the vehicle sits for extended periods. The only noted issue in the record occurred in March 2025 at 50,301 miles, where a minor windscreen chip was identified, though this did not result in a failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related components that do not necessarily correlate with mileage. Check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyres for cracking or perishness, as these can degrade over time regardless of distance. Given the low usage, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers which result from infrequent use. Verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and underside remains a standard requirement, although the MOT history shows no prior rust or corrosion issues to date.
