2016 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · YJ16 OOR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improvement in mechanical presentation. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 38,633 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous issues identified in earlier tests have been addressed. This transition from multiple tyre-related advisories to zero defects suggests the current owner is proactive in resolving faults once they are flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,863 miles per year. Between September 2021 and 2025, the car covered 16,134 miles, showing a consistent usage rate of roughly 4,000 miles annually. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent use can sometimes lead to rubber components degrading through age rather than distance, which is evident in the historical defect data. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and bushings, as the record shows recurring issues with cracking and damage between 2022 and 2023. Despite the low mileage, the age of the rubber may lead to perishing regardless of tread depth. The 2022 test specifically noted a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge, which could indicate past alignment issues or uneven wear on the suspension geometry. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and brake lines is also necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental-related degradation.
