2016 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · SC16 XDF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on June 24 2025 at 87,652 miles. This recent result indicates that the mechanical and safety-related defects identified in the previous year were addressed. While the 2024 test showed several points of developing wear, the lack of defects in the most recent inspection suggests the owner is reactive to MOT testing requirements rather than allowing faults to accumulate into critical failures. At 87,652 miles, the Yeti has averaged approximately 8,765 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical UK usage for a ten-year-old vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 4,400 miles covered between June 2023 and July 2024 tests, and another 4,392 miles recorded between July 2024 and June 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which helps preserve seals and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system due to the history of wear. The July 2024 failure flagged a fractured offside rear coil spring and a misting shock absorber; while these were likely replaced, the buyer should check for signs of fluid leaks or movement in the dampers. The record also noted pitted brake discs and corrosion on the offside front brake hose, indicating the braking components are nearing the end of their service life. The surface corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar noted in 2024 should be visually inspected to ensure it has not progressed into structural thinning.
