2012 Skoda Yeti 1.6L Diesel · YF12 AAY

This Skoda Yeti presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 207,400 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The vehicle has covered significant distance for its age, averaging nearly 15,000 miles per year. Mileage accumulation has remained steady over the last few years, rising from 191,800 miles in January 2023 to 207,400 miles by December 2025. The absence of any recorded defects across these 15,600 miles indicates a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance despite the high usage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that the MOT test may not fully quantify. Given the 207,400 mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts requires scrutiny. While the MOT records show no failures, the high mileage increases the likelihood of fatigue in these rubber and metal components. Check for signs of chassis corrosion and inspect the brake discs for thinning or lipping. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 7 January 2023 at 191,799 miles, though the specific defect was not detailed in the summary. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical failure points for this engine at this mileage.
