2017 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · WF67 AAO

Fuel consumption for a 2.0 L diesel engine in a Skoda Yeti typically falls in the mid‑40s mpg (UK), leading to moderate fuel expenditure compared with larger diesel SUVs. Road tax for diesel vehicles of this size generally places the car in a lower band, but exact rates depend on the current tax tables.

Insurance premiums for a 2017 Skoda Yeti are usually in the mid‑range, reflecting its class and diesel engine. Routine maintenance such as brake pad and disc replacement, tyre wear, and oil changes should be budgeted for, especially given the advisory brake disc wear noted in recent MOTs. Taking these factors together, an estimated annual running cost lies in the region of £800‑£1,200.

Inspect the rear brake discs closely for thickness and scoring, as the MOT reports from 2025 and 2026 both recorded wear, pitting or scoring (1.1.14 (a) (ii)). Even though the advisories indicate the discs are not yet seriously weakened, checking their condition will indicate if replacement is imminent.

Examine the rear registration plate for legibility and structural integrity. The MOT notes from 2022 through 2025 consistently flagged deterioration (0.1 (b)), suggesting the plate may need replacement to avoid future failures.

Check the rear tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, especially given the 2024 advisory about a slightly damaged rear tyre (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). Verify tread depth and overall tyre condition, and inquire whether the tyre has been replaced since that test.
