Defect rate by model year

Comparison of Skoda YETI versus average car of the same model year.

The Škoda Yeti, introduced in 2009, has garnered attention for its distinctive design and versatility as a compact SUV. It combines practicality with a relatively affordable price point, making it a popular choice among families and individuals alike. Over its production years, the Yeti has established a reputation for being a reliable vehicle, but how does it stand up against its peers in terms of reliability based on MOT inspection data?

When examining the Yeti's reliability from 2009 to 2017, it generally performs better than the average vehicle of the same model year. Throughout this period, the Yeti's defects per 100 tests consistently fall below the average for its class. For instance, the 2011 model year shows a notable improvement with only 233 defects per 100, which is 14% better than the average of 271 defects. This trend of decreasing defects continues through the later years, with the 2017 model achieving a commendable 115 defects per 100, significantly lower than the average of 134.

Recurring issues identified in the Yeti include excessive wear on suspension components, tyre tread depth non-compliance, and potential problems with brake discs or drums. While these issues are not unique to the Yeti, they do reflect common wear patterns seen across many vehicles, particularly in models that have been on the road for several years. The data suggests that while the Yeti may experience typical wear and tear, its overall performance in MOT inspections indicates a reliable build and design.

Years such as 2012 and 2013 show the Yeti's best performance relative to average defect rates, with defects per 100 tests of 210 and 191, respectively. In contrast, the 2009 model year, with 284 defects, initially indicates a higher likelihood of issues, but this trend improves significantly in subsequent years.

In summary, the Škoda Yeti's reputation for reliability is supported by its strong performance in MOT inspections. It has consistently outperformed the average car in its class, particularly in the later years of its production. The Yeti remains a well-regarded choice in the compact SUV market, appreciated for its practicality and durability, appealing to a wide range of drivers.
