2011 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · WL11 FUD

The 2011 SKODA YETI has a solid roadworthiness profile, but the maintenance trend is not stable and may be deteriorating. The most recent MOT test on 2026-01-08 at 96,490 miles was passed without defects, which is the standard baseline. However, the sequence of tests from 2025 to 2022 shows a clear downward progression in mileage, with the 2022 inspection occurring at 72,547 miles. This rapid decline suggests that the vehicle has experienced a significant loss of mileage over the past four years, likely due to a lack of regular servicing or frequent breakdowns, which is a warning sign for an increasing risk of mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is highly irregular relative to the vehicle's age, as the 2011 model typically requires around 6,433 miles annually. The gap between the 2026 test and the 2022 test is particularly notable, with the vehicle only having completed 13,943 miles in just 4 years. This lack of accumulation suggests that the owner may have been relying on a lower-mileage interval or that the vehicle was driven less frequently than the typical 6,000-mile year. While the 2025 test at 93,549 miles was passed, the lack of data in the 2024, 2023, and 2022 tests indicates a potential lack of data coverage or a gap in the maintenance log that could mask wear. In conclusion, the 2011 SKODA YETI is a viable purchase candidate, but the maintenance history indicates a risk of structural and mechanical deterioration. The downward trend in mileage since 2022, combined with the lack of data in earlier years, suggests that the vehicle may have had a significant number of breakdowns or frequent repairs that were not recorded. A buyer should inspect the car for binding rear brakes, worn suspension bushes, and any signs of structural rust or corrosion, particularly given the history of the vehicle. The lack of data in the 2023-2022 tests means that a thorough visual inspection is required to confirm whether the vehicle has been adequately maintained or if the mileage loss was due to mechanical issues.
