2017 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · PX66 LDL

The 2017 Škoda Yeti’s most recent MOT test on 31 March 2026—just three months ago—confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects recorded. This clean pass follows a consistent pattern of no failures since the 2024 test, though the record reveals two duplicate entries for both 2024 and 2025, suggesting possible administrative errors rather than mechanical issues. The vehicle’s compliance with current emissions and structural standards remains unquestioned, but the lack of advisories or repeated faults does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test at 74,401 miles aligns with the vehicle’s age, indicating no obvious neglect in core systems. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 8,267 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and usage profile. There are no prolonged gaps in service or unusually rapid mileage jumps, though the duplicate MOT entries in 2024 and 2025—both at 54,393 and 67,089 miles—may warrant questioning the vehicle’s service history beyond MOT records. The absence of a service history or pre-MOT inspections makes it impossible to verify whether preventive maintenance was conducted, particularly for high-wear items like suspension bushes, brake calipers, or timing belt components. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are common failure points at this mileage. The brakes, particularly the rear system, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, even though no failures were noted. Structural integrity—especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe—must be examined for corrosion, as rust can compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as these often develop silently over time. The vehicle’s clean MOT record suggests no urgent mechanical risks, but a professional inspection remains essential to confirm the absence of deferred maintenance.
