2017 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · YA17 DWN

This Skoda Yeti demonstrates a consistently high standard of roadworthiness, characterized by a largely clean testing history over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 11 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories, continuing a trend of stability seen in the 2025 result. Aside from a brief period of minor wear items flagged in 2024, the vehicle has maintained a reliable record of compliance with DVSA standards. With 95,383 miles recorded, the vehicle has covered approximately 10,598 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally benefits engine seals and braking systems. At this mileage threshold, the vehicle is entering a phase where wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings becomes more prevalent, though the MOT history does not currently indicate any premature failure of these systems. Attention should be paid to the braking system and wheel alignment, given the 2024 advisories regarding a worn and pitted front inner brake disc and uneven edge wear on the nearside front tyre. While the clean results in 2025 and 2026 suggest these items were rectified, a test drive should focus on detecting any pedal judder or steering pull, which would indicate lingering issues with disc flatness or incorrect tracking. Ensure the steering feels centered and there is no vibration through the pedal during deceleration. Further inspection should confirm the current condition of the wiper blades and the rear registration plate, both of which were flagged as deteriorating in 2024. While these are minor visibility and compliance concerns, they are indicators of general exterior weathering. A physical check of the tyre treads across the full width of the contact patch is advised to ensure that the previous edge wear has been corrected with a professional four-wheel alignment.
