2014 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · VN14 ABU

The Skoda Yeti demonstrates a highly stable and commendable roadworthiness trend, having secured three consecutive clean passes since October 2023. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 104,186 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard. The singular failure on 15 September 2023 at 84,277 miles appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue, as the vehicle passed the same inspection later that day without any recorded faults. The vehicle has covered 104,186 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,682 miles per annum. This consistent accumulation of mileage suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which is generally favourable for the longevity of rubber seals, gaskets, and battery health. The steady progression of mileage between October 2022 and October 2025 confirms a predictable usage pattern, with no evidence of long-term storage or excessive high-mileage strain that might otherwise accelerate the degradation of drivetrain components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear items that typically affect the Yeti platform, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the rear coil springs, as these are frequent points of failure on higher-mileage examples despite the recent clean MOT history. While the test records show no issues with braking efficiency, a manual check of the brake discs for scoring and the pads for remaining material thickness is advised to ensure they match the current mileage. Given the clean history, the primary concern remains the hidden condition of the underbody; a thorough check for surface corrosion on the subframes and sills is recommended to verify the structural health of the chassis.
