Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. While the
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and underside. The September 2025 MOT failure recorded 'seriously weakened' rear suspension arms and broken coil springs on both sides; you should verify that these were replaced with new components rather than repaired. Given the high mileage, request evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage and the evidence of corrosion. Ensure that the front tyres, which were noted as being close to the legal limit (3mm) in October 2025, have been replaced, as this is a recurring advisory for this specific vehicle.
The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, though fuel economy will be impacted by the vehicle's age and high mileage. Tax and insurance will be typical for a 2010-era diesel SUV, but maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the documented corrosion and suspension wear.
Expect higher-than-normal spending on consumables and wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely need for ongoing suspension and brake maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Focus your inspection on the rear sub-frame, which was flagged as corroded in October 2025. Use a torch to check for further rust or flaking metal around the suspension mounting points. Check the condition of the rubber CV boots and anti-roll bar linkages, as the vehicle has a history of splits and excessive wear in these areas (recorded in 2024 and 2025).
Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, as the MOT history shows repeated advisories for tyres worn on the edges. This could indicate an alignment issue or further suspension geometry problems following the replacement of the coil springs and suspension arms.
This blue 2010 Skoda Yeti 2.0 diesel has covered 176,829 miles, which is substantially higher than the model average. The MOT history is marked by a severe failure in September 2025 involving broken coil springs and seriously weakened rear suspension arms due to corrosion. While these issues were addressed to achieve a pass in October 2025, the vehicle shows clear signs of age-related deterioration.
The Skoda Yeti has a solid reputation with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 83.2%, though tyres and shock absorbers are common failure points across the model range.
