2013 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · MT63 DMX

The 1.2 TSI petrol engine is generally economical for a vehicle of this size, though real-world fuel consumption will depend on your driving style. As a 2013 model, you should verify its specific VED (road tax) band, which is based on CO2 emissions, to ensure you are prepared for the annual cost.

Insurance for the Skoda Yeti is typically reasonable due to its family-oriented nature and safety ratings. You should budget for annual servicing and occasional replacement of consumables like tyres and brake components, which are the most common MOT failure points for this model. Expect an estimated annual running cost of £1,100-£1,300 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.

Begin your inspection by checking the condition of all tyres, as perishing and cracking have been identified as advisories in the past. Ensure the tyres are of a reputable brand and have even wear across the tread, as uneven wear can indicate tracking issues.

Inspect the exterior mirrors, specifically the offside unit, which was previously noted for damage. Test the adjustment mechanisms and ensure the glass is secure. Finally, check the operation of all exterior lighting, as headlamp issues are a common failure point for the Yeti model range in the broader MOT data.
