Insight summary

Skoda Yeti is an uncommon model in this snapshot, with 71,956 represented vehicles and 0.17% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 81.9% from 464,038 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 57. The current pool shows an average of 82,367 miles and an average age of 11.1 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 86,606 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, coil springs and engine warning light. The practical read is that the Skoda Yeti looks a little better than average, but still rewards careful checks on mileage and maintenance.
