2016 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · WN66 GPK

This Škoda Yeti presents a clean and stable MOT history, with no defects recorded across its four most recent tests, including the latest in May 2025 at 85,371 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no signs of recurring mechanical issues or structural degradation. The only minor anomaly was the nearside rear reflector fault in November 2021—a purely cosmetic and non-mechanical issue that was clearly addressed before the next test. Given the consistent pass rates and the recency of the last MOT (just over a year ago), there is no evidence of neglect or escalating wear patterns. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 8,500 miles per year over its 10-year lifespan. The most recent 12,205-mile interval between the June 2024 and May 2025 tests suggests regular but not excessive use, while the longer gap between the November 2021 (42,591 miles) and July 2022 (48,704 miles) tests—nearly eight months—may indicate a period of lighter use or storage. There is no indication of aggressive driving or high-mileage abuse, which would typically accelerate wear on suspension components, brake systems, or drivetrain elements. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on verifying the condition of structural components, particularly the undertray and rear suspension mounts, given the 2021 note about fitted engine covers and undertrays. While the MOT records show no defects in these areas, corrosion or fatigue in high-stress zones—such as the rear subframe, wheel arches, or exhaust mounting points—could develop over time. The rear brakes should also be inspected closely, as binding calipers or uneven disc wear are common issues in this model when maintenance is overlooked. Tyre condition, though not flagged here, should be checked for uneven tread wear, which could signal alignment or suspension bush wear. Overall, the vehicle’s history suggests reliability, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains essential to confirm no hidden issues exist beyond the MOT’s scope.
