Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When reviewing this vehicle, focus on the recent advisories from June 2026 regarding the front lower suspension arm bushes and the windscreen damage. These are common wear items but provide a good opportunity to negotiate on price if repairs are still outstanding.
Verify the service history specifically for the 1968cc diesel engine to ensure oil changes have been performed, as low-mileage diesel cars can sometimes suffer from shorter trip cycles. Check if the rear brake discs, which were noted as pitted or scored in both 2023 and 2024, have been replaced recently.
The 2.0L diesel engine is typically efficient for combined driving and motorway use, though tax and insurance will be based on its specific emissions group and the driver's profile. Maintenance for the Yeti is generally aligned with standard Volkswagen Group costs, with parts being widely available across the UK.
Annual costs will include the road tax for a 2017 diesel, insurance for a medium-sized SUV, and routine servicing. Given the low mileage, annual maintenance costs may remain modest provided the vehicle is used regularly enough to avoid diesel particulate filter issues.
Prioritise an inspection of the front lower suspension arm pins and bushes, as both the nearside and offside were flagged as worn in the most recent MOT. Check the nearside of the windscreen for the damage noted in June 2026 to determine if it requires a full replacement or a simple repair.
Inspect the rear brake discs for pitting or scoring, a recurring advisory in 2023 and 2024. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres, specifically the offside rear, following the 2025 advisory regarding cracking and perishing.
This 2017 white Skoda Yeti has recorded five MOT tests since 2022, passing every single one. With 42,280 miles on the odometer, it has been used far less than the average for this model. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor wear-and-tear advisories rather than critical failures, suggesting a steady usage profile.
The Skoda Yeti has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 83.2%, with common issues typically relating to headlamps, tyres, and shock absorbers.
