Try here for your mot.

Should have been clearer, that is where I checked and got the "No MOT on record with the DVLA". If they only carried out the MOT last week is there a chance it might take a few days before it gets updated on the website?

No, it's pretty instant.

Is the car "Approved used" or whatever the Skoda scheme is?

I bought a second hand 2015 Skoda Yeti from a main Skoda dealer last week. Picked it up on Friday.

Well, that was your first mistake.

....as well as MOT Cover for a year.

No worries then. I think that cover normally follows an MOT though, so sounds like they've messed up.

Yes it is. Comes with 12 months approved used warranty, as well as MOT Cover for a year.

I think you can still MOT up to one month before the anniversary and still retain the MOT date, so it can be MOT' d now and run through to 11th December 2019. I would ring them up and get them to do it for you free of charge if it has been sold with a years MOT.

29 days before its due to expire and it keeps the same end date.

What did the Skoda dealer say when you phoned and asked them about the MOT?
