2017 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · WH17 GKY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 76,513 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a minor failure just three miles prior to that pass indicates a lapse in basic exterior bulb checks. The failure involved a defective offside front position lamp, incorrect headlamp aim, and worn windscreen wiper blades. These are all consumable or adjustment-related issues that do not suggest deeper mechanical failure or structural degradation of the Skoda Yeti. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of miles, moving from 59,148 miles in August 2023 to 69,968 miles in January 2025 and 76,513 miles by January 2026. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals, gaskets, and brake components to prevent premature seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the windscreen, as damage was noted in both the 2023 and 2024 tests. While these defects did not affect the driver's view at the time, recurring chips or cracks indicate a vulnerability to stone impacts. Given the lack of recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion across the history, the vehicle appears to have been maintained mechanically. However, the buyer should verify the headlamp alignment personally to ensure the 2026 failure was properly rectified and check the wipers for further signs of tearing.
