WHEELER Dealers star Mike Brewer has revealed a “really strong” SUV that you can pick up for just £1,600.
The TV host says this model offers great value for money, making it a standout choice for buyers looking for a reliable and fun drive.
Mike rocketed to fame on the TV show Wheeler Dealers, where he uses his vehicular expertise to restore classic cars.
He often gives out helpful tips to fellow car lovers on his Ask Mike page online.
Now, he has told motorheads to take a punt on a Skoda Yeti if they are looking for an SUV.
Mike said that the small SUV could be an ideal pick with the model praised for its practicality.
The Wheeler Dealers star bigged up the Yeti, praising its roomy interior which is perfect for ferrying the kids and all their clobber without breaking the bank.
He reckons the Czech brand is churning out “great cars” and is urging second-hand shoppers to give the Yeti a proper look.
Speaking as part of a round-up of top used buys, Mike previously told Car Dealer Magazine that the plucky SUV is built on a solid VW platform.
And he’s clearly a fan of its get-stuck-in-and-go attitude.
Mike said: “If you’re looking for a bit more space for the family and you need to catty all that kit and caboodle around, then another recommendation would be the Skoda Yeti.
“Now this is a really strong car. It’s got a really good VW platform that sits underneath it.
“They are reliable, they are rough and tough. You can bash them round. They’ve got hard plastics on the inside.
“If they get stained on the seats, they clean up really well. Think about those littleuns’ in the back drinking their fruit juice. These cars are really hardy and that’s why I’d recommend a Skoda Yeti.”
Buyers are being reminded that final prices will depend on the car’s age, condition and mileage.
But savvy shoppers could snap up one of these rugged family wagons for less than ten grand.
According to used car experts at Parkers, Skoda Yeti models are priced between £1,680 and £13,110.
AutoTrader, the leading new and used car marketplace, has plenty of examples available for under the £10,000 mark.
Wheeler Dealers follows Mike and fellow presenters as they travel the country and attempted to restore and sell vintage cars.
It comes after Mike shared a photograph of himself and his former co-host Ant Anstead enjoying a couple of pints on his Instagram.
Former police officer, Ant took the reins for the show in 2017, replacing fan-favourite Edd China.
But petrol head Ant quit the show in 2020 after production moved from the US back to the UK.
Mike has recently reassured fans that another series of Wheeler Dealer: World tour is going ahead and will be filmed after his new project with Marc Priestley.
The presenter is also keeping busy featuring in an episode of Car SOS which renovates old cars owned by the public.
OLIVIA Attwood has taken a pop at Maura Higgins over her kiss with married McFly star Danny Jones.
The TV presenter, 33, previously sparked rumours of a feud with Irish star Maura, 34, with a cryptic post about someone trying to “copy” her life.
And now Olivia seems to have taken a savage swipe at Love Island star Maura after she kissed singer Danny at the BRIT awards after party.
Commenting on the Maura and Danny’s shock smooch, Olivia said: “It’s not nice for the other party, is it?’
Olivia admitted she had empathy for Danny’s wife Georgia Horsley, who he shares six-year-old son Cooper with.
The Bad Boyfriends host added: “As much as we all love salacious gossip, there is a wife and child on the other end of that.’
It has previously been speculated that Loose Women’s Olivia and Maura were at loggerheads.
In November Olivia shared a post which read: “One day I’m going to write a book and some of the stuff I have managed to keep [zipped mouth emoji] on over the years.
“It will blow your f***ing mind.
“You can try to hire all the same people, regurgitate my stories as your own, study the playbook, follow the recipe blah blah blah, but it will NEVER taste the same. That’s all.”
The online rant comes hours after Maura – who signed to the same PR company as Olivia before heading into I’m A Celebrity.
Olivia and Maura are both represented by Dundas Communications.
Olivia starred on series three of Love Island in 2017, with Maura signing up in 2019.
Both have previously worked as models and Ring Girls before moving into presenting roles after finding fame.
Olivia presents a number of ITV shows including Bad Boyfriends, The Price of Perfection and Olivia Attwood vs The Trolls.
Meanwhile Maura is the host of Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up Star.
Maura joined I’m A Celeb as a late arrival last series – two years after Olivia’s brief stint.
Yesterday Maura was spotted partying with Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber at Coachella Festival.
On her Instagram story, Maura shared a snap of Kendall, 29, and Hailey, 28, chatting to pals nearby her.
She captioned: “Does this mean we’re besties now?”, while also tagging the famous duo.
The Sun revealed last month how Maura and Danny, who appeared together in the I’m A Celeb jungle last year, shared a brief kiss during Universal Music’s Brit Awards after party on 3 March.
Fabulous have since revealed the star’s “ruthless moves” since the “drunken kiss”.
These include swiftly moving on without making a comment, as well as jetting to America shortly after the news broke.
The star also enjoyed lunch with Margot Robbie and spent the night partying with Kim Kardashian after getting an exclusive invite to Kim’s leisurewear brand Skims’ pop un diner in Los Angeles.
Furthermore, Maura has shared her brand partnerships online and they aren’t tiny ones either.
The Love Island star is said to be “relieved” to have been offered work from L’Oreal, who have offered her six-figures having been impressed with her shoot for MAC cosmetics.
Celebrity PR expert Nick Ede said: “Maura Higgins is set to explode in the USA.
“She’s catching the eye of the Hollywood elite with her sensational looks and her brand partnerships. She’s making herself Hollywood’s hottest property.
“Maura has cleverly used the illicit kiss to go further in her career.
“It might seem ruthless that she has completely ignored the saga, jetted across seas to America and is continuously boasting about her career moves on Instagram, but she’s doing all the right things to catch Hollywood’s eye.”
MCFLY singer Danny Jones and his wife Georgia Horsley's romance is at the centre of attention after his drunken kiss with Love Island alum Maura Higgins. Yet when did they meet?
Danny began a relationship with model Georgia back in 2010.
He had been going out with his now-wife for four years when he proposed to her in Cyprus in 2013.
They married the following August in her hometown of Malton, North Yorks, in a ceremony which featured musical performances by McBusted and Ellie Goulding.
Danny and Georgia welcomed a baby boy called Cooper Alf Jones on January 27, 2018.
JADON SANCHO spared Chelsea’s blushes as Enzo Maresca’s side came from behind to draw.
Relegation-threatened Ipswich went 2-0 up after 31 minutes with Chelsea flat throughout the first half.
They kickstarted into life immediately after the break when Axel Tuanzebe bundled a Noni Madueke cross into the back of his own net under pressure from Marc Cucurella.
Chelsea should have already been a goal to the good but Nicolas Jackson fluffed his lines – a familiar tale this season.
The Blues were booed off the pitch after their first half display but Sancho redeemed his team-mates after he unleashed a brilliant curling effort into the top corner.
Chelsea came into the fixture having won each of their last five Premier League games at Stamford Bridge but failed to build momentum after their midweek win in Warsaw.
Cole Palmer delivered another weak performance but Fernandez continued his recent impressive form, while Sancho shined from the bench.
A victory would have propelled Chelsea into fourth place, a point ahead of reigning champions Manchester City, but a draw leaves Enzo Maresca’s side in fifth.
Here is how SunSport’s Conor Jones rated the Blues display…
The keeper had a quiet first half but failed to stop either of the goals and his distribution was poor.
The Spaniard faced very little in the second half as his side dominated possession and looked much more dangerous.
Pushed high to support Madueke and forced a save from Alex Palmer in the first half with a low, driven strike but it was a routine stop.

The defender was at fault for the second goal where he was pulled out of position and failed to win a header over George Hirst, eventually leading to the Enciso cross and Johnson’s header at the back post.
Chalobah was then moved into centre half at the break and dealt with Ipswich’s counter-attacks reasonably well, denying Liam Delap a shot on goal shortly after he came on.
The defender had a quiet game and will be disappointed to have conceded two at home after keeping a clean sheet away at Legia Warsaw.
Tosin didn’t offer a threat from set pieces and was part of Chelsea’s worst 45-minute period of the game.
Made way for Malo Gusto in the second half, with Trevor Chalobah moving across into centre-half.
Started brightly, playing a brilliant pass through the lines from a free-kick which found Enzo Fernandez in the half space.
Managed to find himself open in the Ipswich box for a free header which should have found the back of the net but can instead be added to the list of missed chances for the Blues on the day.
Chelsea put in a poor display at the back as a group and allowed the visitors to capitalise on their mistakes.
Ultimately, the Englishman will be disappointed with his backline’s performance, especially after a clean sheet midweek.
The Spanish full-back was up to his usual tricks on Sunday, rolling in pain to win a free-kick in the first half leading to relentless boos from the travelling support.
The Spaniard’s defensive performance didn’t match his theatrics as he was caught on the back foot for the opening goal from Enciso and then beaten at the back post for Johnson’s header and Ipswich’s second.
Cucurella came out of the blocks firing in the second half and was in the box to bundle home Madueke’s cross, with the help of Tuanzebe.
Overall, he was dangerous and caused Ipswich more problems than most of the Blues’ front line.
Didn’t play noticeably badly but was part of a midfield that was caught out on the break for both goals.
Protected his back four with more consistency in the second half but recycled the ball well and regained possession on numerous occasions.
Needs to offer more going forward when his side are struggling to create.
Enzo was positive and drove the Blues’ attack forward throughout the first half, linking up well with Madueke and pressing eagerly with Palmer.
The Argentinian matched his attacking work rate at the back going forward and tried to drive his team up the pitch with every possession.
The midfielder was keen to take on shots and when his side were struggling he was the only player who showed signs of turning things around.
Madueke was a threat down the right-hand side early on and pressed the Tractor Boys’ back line with enthusiasm but his day was defined by missed chances.
An awkward volley nearly crept past Alex Palmer at the near post but Ipswich fans were relieved to see it nestle into the outside netting.
The winger failed to convert again in the last ten minutes of the first half after Palmer slid in Cucurella and the Spaniard delivered a dangerous cut back which he spooned into row Z but delivered the assist to kickstart the comeback.
Palmer started quietly but perked up around 15 minutes into the first half when he toyed with the Ipswich backline before combining well with Pedro Neto to fizz a ball across the six-yard line.
Yet, the young attacker looked hesitant and lacking in confidence as he failed to show the cut throat decision making and talent we saw in the first half of the season.
If the Englishman was hoping this fixture could be the turning point in a run of flat form, he was wrong.
Found acres of space on the right flank but failed to capitalise despite numerous balls into the box and consistent opportunities to cut in onto his right foot.
Came close with a volley from the edge of the area in the second half and picked up his performance in the second half but still lacked the cutting edge.
The winger had a half chance to win the game with a difficult volley in the box but could only slice the ball high and wide.
Jackson showed signs of life but was kept quiet by Dara O’Shea and made a case for his side to start looking at strikers come the summer transfer window.
The striker should have scored in the eighth minute of the game after Enzo played a dangerous ball across the box from the right but he could only hit the post.
The Senegalese attacker lost the physical battle with Ipswich’s backline and failed to offer a dangerous outlet on the break which was where his side looked most dangerous.
Came on to replace Tosin and offer a conventional full-back on the right-hand side which helped the home side’s stability in the second half.
Inverted well and helped contain Ipswich counter attacks by recycling the ball around the edge of the area and offered himself on the right flank.
Came on and scored a wonderful equaliser but didn’t have loads of opportunities to impact the game outside of his goal.
Overall, Maresca couldn’t ask for much more and Sancho rescued a point for his side.
Did not make an impact in his few minutes on the pitch.
VINCENT VAN DER VOORT has backed James Wade after he refused to shake hands with Cameron Menzies.
The Scot held out a sportsmanlike hand with the players tied up at 5-5 at the International Darts Open.
But The Machine snubbed the gesture and left his Scottish rival hanging in a funny moment.
Menzies would swiftly take his revenge by winning the leg against the darts in the second round at Riesa recently.
Former UK Open finalist Van der Voort dismissed the idea that Wade did anything wrong.
He said on the Darts Draait Door podcast: “There’s no rule that says you have to shake hands before a deciding leg.
“It’s not necessary. Why should it be? You’ve already shaken hands before the match.
“At some point, this whole handshake-before-the-last-leg thing just crept in. Wishing your opponent a good game again?
“No thanks—that’s not how it works.”
Van der Voort acknowledged that the gesture has become an unwritten tradition in darts but questioned its necessity.

He added: “It’s all meant to be very sportsmanlike, and I get that. But I don’t think it should be expected.
“It can come across as a bit awkward. And maybe it even adds some pressure for your opponent.
“I’m not there to be friendly. I’m there to win.
“It’s customary, yes, but it’s not mandatory.”
Menzies recently revealed he is set to turn pro and ditch his job as a plumber.
Cammy won his second Players Championship title last week after almost missing out after being stuck in traffic on the M1.
THE Premier League Darts is back with eight players vying for massive prize money and Luke Littler’s crown.
The teenager, who went on to win the world title in December, won the Premier League in 2024 and will be looking to defend his crown over 18 thrilling weeks.
There were two new entries this season, with Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey replacing Peter Wright and Michael Smith.
Luke Humphries, Rob Cross, Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price and Nathan Aspinall keep their place in what will be a hotly-contested title race.

Menzies, who is in the same management team as Gary Anderson, now believes he can improve if he gives up the day job.
He said: “I’m quitting my job soon.
“I’m taking up darts full-time. It is genuinely crazy, my darts career is kicking off, it’s my dream.”
