2012 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · LS62 GAO

The 2012 Skoda Yeti presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 13 October 2025 at 96,099 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome caps a consistent run of clean passes stretching back through October 2024, October 2022, and beyond. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural advisories flagged across multiple consecutive tests. A single failed test on 16 October 2023 at 80,752 miles shows no recorded defects, suggesting the failure may have been an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical one, with a clean pass secured the very following day. There is no evidence of worsening or unresolved faults in the official record. The vehicle has covered approximately 14 years of service at 96,099 miles, averaging roughly 6,864 miles per year. This is a typical annual mileage for a vehicle of its age and class. The mileage progression is steady and unremarkable: 73,219 miles in October 2022, 80,752 miles by October 2023, 87,538 miles by October 2024, and 96,099 miles by October 2025. Each year shows an accumulation of approximately 7,000 to 8,500 miles, indicating regular, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage bursts. The MOT record is complete and well-documented across this period, with no concerning gaps in testing. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress-test. At nearly 96,000 miles, suspension components such as bushes, drop links, and shock absorbers may be approaching the end of their serviceable life even if no play or deterioration was evident at the October 2025 test. Brake discs, pads, and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the vehicle's age. The underbody and wheel arches warrant close scrutiny for corrosion, as structural rust can develop between annual tests on a 14-year-old vehicle. Tyre condition and age should also be checked, since rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The exhaust system and DPF function deserve attention given the mileage, and a test drive over varied surfaces will reveal any suspension clunks or drivetrain vibrations that a stationary MOT inspection may not detect.
