2017 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · YR67 HCN

The Skoda Yeti’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-17 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent pass history across the last five annual tests. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been reliably maintained within the legal thresholds for brakes, emissions, and structural integrity. However, the duplicate entry for 2024—where a failure was recorded but no defects were noted—appears anomalous and may warrant clarification, though it does not affect the current pass status. Overall, the trend is stable, with no evidence of worsening mechanical issues over time. The recorded mileage of 42,988 miles at nine years old indicates unusually light usage, averaging just under 4,800 miles annually. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on fluids, seals, and suspension components if the vehicle was stored without proper care. The most recent test aligns with the expected annual cycle, with no gaps longer than a year between checks, reinforcing that maintenance has been consistent. Still, low mileage does not preclude hidden issues—rust, suspension degradation, or electrical failures can develop regardless of distance travelled. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and potential for prolonged static loading. The brakes, while passing MOT standards, should be checked for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody should be examined closely, as low mileage does not guarantee rust-free conditions. Finally, the battery and electrical connections should be tested, as prolonged inactivity can degrade these systems. No advisories in the MOT history imply these areas have not been flagged before, but visual and functional checks remain essential.
