About the Skoda Yeti

The Skoda Yeti was MOT tested 121,702 times in 2024 (DVSA data, retests included) across 10 model years (2009 to 2018), with an average pass rate of 82%. That's close to the average of 82% across all models in our data. Our records list diesel and petrol versions.

Best and Worst Years

Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2017 model has the highest pass rate at 90% from 16,631 tests. The 2009 model has the lowest at 75%. The 15 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.

Reliability Trend

Newer Skoda Yetis pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 9 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.

Mileage Across Years

The oldest model in our data (2009) averages 113,434 miles, while the newest (2018) averages 49,468 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.

Compared to the Skoda brand average of 88%, the Yeti is 6 points lower, placing it among the less reliable Skoda models.
