Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- 1.2 TSI Timing Chain StretchSerious
The early EA111 1.2 TSI is the headline Yeti risk: chain stretch and weak tensioners can turn a cheap crossover into an engine rebuild very quickly.
- Haldex pump and clutch neglectModerate
The Yeti is tough in 4x4 form, but missed Haldex servicing can lead to pump faults, weak rear-drive engagement and expensive catch-up work.
