2012 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · WG12 KUP

This Škoda Yeti demonstrates a consistently stable roadworthiness record, with every MOT test since August 2022 passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 10 December 2025—just five months ago—confirmed no issues, reinforcing that the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical failures or safety-critical failures within the past year. The absence of advisories or minor faults across all tests suggests that basic maintenance, such as brake fluid changes, suspension checks, and emissions compliance, has been reliably addressed. However, the lack of defects does not preclude wear items like tyres, wiper blades, or brake pads from requiring imminent replacement, which should be verified in person. The mileage progression of approximately 8,854 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage increased steadily from 110,234 miles in August 2022 to 123,949 miles today, averaging around 3,700 miles between each annual test. There are no gaps longer than a year between tests, which indicates the vehicle has been regularly serviced and driven without extended periods of neglect. This pattern suggests the previous owner maintained consistent usage rather than storing the vehicle or using it sporadically. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear components that are not automatically tested during an MOT. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging, excessive play, or corrosion, as these are common failure points in a vehicle of this age and mileage. Brake discs and calipers, while not flagged in past tests, may now require closer scrutiny for uneven wear, binding, or excessive thickness reduction, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively or in stop-start conditions. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, as structural integrity deteriorates more rapidly than what MOT tests typically reveal. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions compliance was never a concern in this record.
