2016 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · LS16 LKN

The vehicle achieved a clean pass on 21 April 2026 at 21,413 miles with zero defects recorded. This result confirms a stable maintenance trend over the last four years, as the MOT history shows consecutive passes without advisories or failures since May 2022. The absence of corrosion, suspension wear, or braking system faults in the official record indicates the previous owner addressed mechanical issues promptly or the vehicle experienced exceptionally light use. Usage has remained remarkably consistent and low for a ten-year-old vehicle. Between the May 2022 test at 10,435 miles and the latest check in April 2026, the car covered only 10,978 miles, averaging roughly 2,700 miles annually. This consistent accumulation suggests the Yeti served as a secondary vehicle or was used primarily for short local trips rather than high-mileage commuting. There are no significant mileage gaps or sudden spikes in the record to suggest odometer tampering or intensive use. While the MOT record is pristine, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation typical of infrequent use. Low mileage often leads to perished rubber components, so check the condition of the drive belts, coolant hoses, and tyre sidewalls for dry rot despite adequate tread depth. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or binding, as stationary vehicles can suffer from seized mechanisms. Ensure the clutch release mechanism operates smoothly, as infrequent driving can cause high friction points to stick.
