2017 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · RF17 EUX

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 7 July 2026 at 40,595 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of minor consumable wear. While the 2023 test flagged thinning rear brake pads and perishing tyres, the subsequent failure in July 2024 for rear brake pads below the 1.5mm limit indicates that these components were eventually addressed. The absence of advisories in the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a consistent standard. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 4,511 miles per year. The records show steady, incremental usage, with the distance increasing by roughly 2,000 to 2,500 miles between annual tests. For example, the vehicle travelled 2,512 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, and 2,010 miles between July 2025 and July 2026. This pattern of low annual mileage suggests the car has seen light use, though such usage can sometimes lead to secondary issues like tyre perishing or battery degradation due to infrequent driving. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. Although the 2024 failure for thin rear brake pads was resolved, checking the remaining thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs is prudent. The 2023 advisories regarding cracking and perishing tyres suggest the vehicle may sit for extended periods; therefore, a close examination of the sidewalls and tread depth on all four tyres is necessary to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Beyond the brakes and tyres, the consistent pass rate for structural integrity and emissions over the last several years is a positive indicator. Because the vehicle has avoided significant mechanical or structural failures in its MOT history, the primary concerns remain limited to standard consumable wear items. Checking the condition of suspension bushes and any signs of fluid leaks would be a sensible final step to complement the digital record.
