2013 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · NJ63 FOD

The 2026‑03‑19 MOT confirms the 2013 Skoda Yeti remains roadworthy, with the tester recording no defects at 77,947 miles, indicating a stable maintenance record. All previous tests from 2023 through 2025 also showed no recorded faults, demonstrating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase of roughly 3,800 to 4,000 miles per annual interval from the 2023 test at 66,791 miles to the 2026 test at 77,947 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s age of 13 years and an average annual usage of about 6,000 miles, suggesting regular but moderate use rather than prolonged standing. The brief 2024‑02‑26 failure was followed by a pass on 2024‑03‑05 with identical mileage, indicating that any issues were rectified without affecting the overall clean record. A buyer should therefore focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, the integrity of the brake discs and calipers, and any signs of structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches, as these components commonly exhibit wear despite the clean MOT outcomes. Inspection of the exhaust system, structural integrity of the body panels, and verification of tyre tread depth and condition are also prudent steps. Given the low mileage and consistent pass history, the vehicle appears well‑cared for, but a thorough visual inspection and a pre‑purchase mechanical survey remain advisable to verify that concealed corrosion or component fatigue has not developed since the last test.
