2017 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · SM17 XUB

This Skoda Yeti has maintained a consistent MOT pass history with no recorded defects across the last four annual tests, most recently passing on 6 June 2025 at 55,195 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing aligned with manufacturer intervals, though the record does not confirm whether scheduled maintenance (e.g., timing belt, fluid changes) was performed. The most recent test, just over a year ago, indicates no immediate mechanical or structural concerns at the time of inspection. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude wear items like suspension bushes, brake pads, or wiper blades from requiring attention now, given the intervening mileage. The mileage progression shows steady usage without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. From 42,857 miles in July 2022 to 55,195 miles today, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 12,338 miles in just under four years—roughly 3,085 miles annually, which remains within typical expectations for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no gaps exceeding the annual MOT cycle, and no evidence of extended periods of disuse that might accelerate corrosion or fluid degradation. The consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly, which generally bodes well for component longevity, though it also implies higher wear on consumables like tyres and brake discs. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. Focus on the suspension—check for cracked or perished bushes on the control arms, sway bar, or subframe mounts, as these often fail between MOT cycles. The brake system warrants scrutiny: while the MOT did not flag binding calipers or excessive disc wear, the rear brakes in particular should be tested for smooth operation and even pad thickness. Corrosion is another critical area; examine the wheel arches, sills, and underbody for rust penetration, especially around weld seams and suspension components, as this can compromise structural integrity over time. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are not always captured in MOT records.
