Skoda Yeti facelift
The facelifted Yeti looks squarer and usually makes more sense as a used buy because the later petrol engines are less notorious than the launch-era chain cars. It is still a practical, smart small SUV, but cooling leaks, diesel emissions use-pattern issues and ageing door electrics matter more here than outright engine design flaws.

These are the most common documented problems for the Skoda Yeti facelift, sorted by their typical impact and frequency.
Water pump / thermostat housing leaks

EGR and DPF trouble on short-run diesels
