Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage diesel SUV. The recent MOT history is clean, though a minor failure was noted in mid-2024.
Given the low mileage for a 2014 diesel, check that the vehicle has been used for a variety of journeys to prevent DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues, which can be common in low-use diesel engines. Request documentation to confirm the interval of oil changes, as the 1968cc engine requires consistent maintenance.
When negotiating, ask for clarification on the July 2024 MOT failure, even though no specific defect was listed in the summary provided. Ensure the service history aligns with the low mileage to confirm the vehicle hasn't been sitting idle for extended periods.
The 2.0L diesel engine is generally efficient for motorway cruising, though running costs will depend on your annual mileage. Tax bands for this era of Yeti vary based on exact CO2 emissions, so verify the specific band for AV14RYU.
Insurance groups for the Yeti typically sit in the mid-range, and maintenance costs should be predictable, though parts for the 1968cc engine can be more expensive than smaller petrol variants. Expect annual running costs (fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance) to fall in the £1,200-£1,600 range depending on usage.
Based on aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms, as these are the most frequent causes of MOT failure across the Skoda Yeti range. Even though this specific vehicle passed its 2025 MOT with no defects, these components are known wear items.
Inspect the tyres for uneven wear which could indicate suspension issues, and check that the headlamp alignment is correct. Given the diesel engine, listen for any unusual noises from the engine bay that might suggest issues with the timing belt or auxiliary components.
This 2014 silver Skoda Yeti has covered 49,518 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,693 miles per year for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with the most recent test in July 2025 recording no defects. While there was a failure recorded in July 2024 at 46,524 miles, the vehicle has since passed subsequent tests without further issues.
Aggregate data from over 77,000 vehicles shows an 83.3% MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures related to tyres, lighting, and suspension.
