Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence but verify service records. This 2013 Skoda Yeti shows a consistent MOT pass record despite its higher mileage.
When inspecting this specific diesel Yeti, focus on the service history to ensure the 2.0L engine has had regular oil changes, which is critical for high-mileage diesel units. Since the vehicle has covered over 122,000 miles, check for any signs of clutch wear or dual-mass flywheel vibration if it is a manual model.
Negotiate based on the mileage, which is substantially above the aggregate average for this model. Ask the seller for documentation regarding recent repairs, particularly as the 2025 and 2026 MOTs required remedial work to pass. Ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is a common requirement for engines of this age and mileage.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Yeti is designed for longer journeys and should offer reasonable fuel economy compared to petrol alternatives. However, buyers should be aware of potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on the specific emissions standard of this 2013 model.
Insurance groups for the Yeti vary, but the 1968cc engine typically places it in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs for a vehicle with 122,865 miles may increase due to wear-and-tear items like suspension components and brakes. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and maintenance, are approximately £1,400-£1,700.
Based on aggregate data for the Skoda Yeti, pay close attention to the tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms, as these are the most common failure points for this model. Check the tyres for even tread wear, which can indicate suspension or alignment issues.
Given the mileage, inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion or leaks. Although the recent MOTs passed with no defects recorded, the fact that failures occurred in 2025 and 2026 suggests that components are reaching the end of their service life and may require replacement in the near future.
This grey 2013 Skoda Yeti, powered by a 1968cc diesel engine, has covered 122,865 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,707 miles per year, the vehicle has successfully passed its last three MOT tests. The recent history shows failures in 2025 and 2026, though these were rectified to achieve a pass on the same day.
Aggregate data from 77,121 vehicles shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.3% for this model, with common issues involving tyres, lighting, and suspension.
