Our Verdict
Proceed with caution given the age of this 2010 Skoda Yeti and its high mileage. While the most recent MOT tests were passed, the occurrence of failures immediately preceding successful tests warrants a thorough physical inspection.
When inspecting this vehicle, pay close attention to the 1.2-litre TSI engine, as these units can be sensitive to timing chain wear which may not always be flagged during an MOT. Check for any rattling sounds at cold start and ensure the service history confirms regular oil changes, which are critical for the longevity of this specific engine variant.
Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle is now 16 years old and has surpassed the 100,000-mile mark. Ask to see invoices for the work carried out to rectify the MOT failures in 2023 and 2025 to understand what parts were replaced or repaired to secure those passes.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine is relatively economical for a vehicle of this shape, though fuel consumption will be higher in urban driving conditions. As a 2010 model, you should verify the specific VED (road tax) band, as rates for this era can vary significantly based on CO2 emissions.
Insurance costs should be moderate given the Yeti's demographic, but factor in the potential for higher maintenance costs due to the vehicle's age. Expect to budget for more frequent wear-and-tear replacements such as suspension bushes, exhaust components, and braking system parts.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle; despite the recent clean passes, older vehicles are prone to corrosion on brake lines and structural components. Check the condition of all tyres and ensure the spare wheel or inflation kit is present and usable.
Test all electrical features, including the air conditioning and infotainment systems, as these are common areas for minor faults in older Skoda models. Since the MOT history shows failures immediately rectified by passes, check the specific components like lighting, horn, and emissions equipment, as these are frequent causes of test failures.
This grey 2010 Skoda Yeti has covered 105,609 miles since its registration in June 2010. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures followed by immediate passes in both 2023 and 2025, suggesting that remedial work was required to meet roadworthiness standards. It remains a practical choice for those seeking a compact SUV, provided the mechanical condition matches its current pass status.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Skoda Yeti; buyers should rely on the specific MOT history provided for this vehicle.
