2014 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · WU64 JXT

The Skoda Yeti’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-23 at 73,297 miles confirms a stable roadworthiness trend over the past four years, with no defects recorded in any of the five consecutive tests. The vehicle has consistently passed without advisories or failures, suggesting that major systems—brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity—have been maintained at a baseline standard. However, the duplicate entry for 2022 (both a pass and a fail at 62,484 miles) appears anomalous and may indicate a data error rather than a mechanical issue, as no defects were logged in either instance. The lack of recurring advisories or failures implies that previous owners have likely addressed routine wear items like tyres, wiper blades, and bulbs promptly, though this does not preclude hidden issues. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 6,108 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, without extreme gaps or rapid accumulation. The most recent test occurred just over a year ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT interval and reflects responsible scheduling. There is no evidence of prolonged inactivity or aggressive driving patterns from the mileage data, though the absence of service records means wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints cannot be confirmed without further inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough examination of suspension components, particularly the rear bushings and shock absorbers, as these are common wear items on this model that often fail silently. The brakes, including caliper binding and disc thickness, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to wet conditions. Structural corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical area, particularly given the vehicle’s age—rust can compromise structural integrity without visible surface signs. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as catalytic converter failures or cracked pipes are not always flagged in MOT tests until they become severe.
