My previous Superb was a late 2013 MK2 facelift 1.6 Greenline Estate diesel with the 6 speed manual gearbox. In all fairness it was actually ok power wise for me, had it from new and covered 125k miles in it throughout the 4 years I had it, economy was very good, usually giving 60+ mpg but obviously depends how & where you drive. I wouldn't write off the 1.6 diesel unless it has a DPF, in which case for too many shorter drives it may not be suitable, I drove mainly longer journeys. Had it new from Carrs Skoda, as did my current MK3 (now Yeomans Skoda). Have you taken it for a good test drive, that may sway your decision one way or the other.

I saw this last month, caught my eye enough to take a photo of it (forgot the photo until checking my phone just now)

I think that just selects what you see in the right and left dials, not what you see between the dials, but happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

Perhaps this will help

Use the left arrow key on the right hand side of the steering wheel to select different options, then use the roller button on the right hand side of the steering wheel to scroll through the screen options.

The four owners listed could be a mistake, worth checking.

Until we've seen one in the flesh, had a decent drive in one and seen the exact specification of each model it's hard to say, some will like it others won't (same for most things in life). I agree the front does look very similar to the 2019 facelift model from what I've seen up until now.

I believe 2019 was the last year the Scout was available as the new Octavia mk4 came out in 2020, so if you can find a 2020 Scout it will probably be a 2019 manufactured car that was a dealer stock car but wasn't sold and registered until 2020, most being registered up until in 2019.

I can also vouch for the 1.4TSI, the wife has a 2017 Octavia SEL FL DSG with this engine. Very good performance for a 1.4, but also on a gentle run it can do 55-60mpg with the two of us in it (summer time, drops a bit in the winter) it is a very refined engine (I would say that as I have a Superb diesel). I have heard the 1.5 cambelt can be rather expensive to change due to the equipment required to set it up?. There is also less to go wrong compared to the 1.5TSI such as no cylinder deactivation on the 1.4, and no PPF.

The vehicles supplied to the emergency services are often fitted with Eibach suspension due to the extra weight they constantly carry

At least one other iV owner has had the same problem on this forum

It was a £145 option. Link to the Scala brochure: https://www.skoda.co.uk/_doc/fec3158f-9dc3-4b41-8d0a-c5faad85f1f5

The display shows how much Adblue (or DEF) you can/should put in, the car display suggests 15.5 litres:

I have the 150 TDI EVO engine with DSG7.

Filled the Adblue tank for the second time today, that should take it up to 60k. It was full when I picked it from new and showing a range of 15,000 miles. It appears to be calibrated for a maximum display range of 15k miles but in reality it lasts for 20k each refill. Car was one year old earlier this month and just coming up to 40k.

Just under 37000 miles.

Had a new windscreen fitted this morning as a stone hit it a couple of weeks ago and broke it. This month the car has had a variable service, four new tyres plus the windscreen - hope that lot keeps it going for a while, it's still only 11 months old.

Some dealers sell products that are not VW branded, whether they should be is a different matter, but some do seem to do so.

Funny you should mention that, a current job vacancy at a Skoda dealership:

It does sound the same as this forum member experienced, their fix is in the last post

The Pirelli's are more than good enough for me https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/product-group-tests/91856/tyre-reviews-best-car-tyres-buy-now-2023/pirelli-cinturato-p7#:~:text=There's a pretty balanced approach,best for handling and cornering.

I'm really not interested in steering sharpness or sporty driving by any stretch of the imagination, my time is spent driving up and down the UK road network, I'm a pretty gentle driver but I do cover quite a few miles and they get good reviews for longevity which is important to me so we'll see how long they last. My last car had Pirelli Scorpion Verde which lasted 40k on the front and considerably more miles on the rear so hoping for similar wear rate.

Had the four new tyres fitted today, went for Pirelli Cinturato P7's, wasn't sure what to get, ask 5 people you'll get 5 different recommendations, but went with the Pirelli's as several people indicate they last very well mileage wise and as I cover quite a few miles that's important to me. Some reviews say they are noisy but on the drive home I wouldn't say I noticed any difference to the Bridgstone Turanza T0005 that were on it before. I think the side wall also makes a difference to noise, I have the 18" wheels on the SEL so perhaps the Sportline on 19's create more noise?. I'll be covering a few hundred miles over the next couple of days so they'll get a good run on A & B roads and the motorway.

Took my car in to Skoda today for it's second variable service of this year. I had it new in October last year and it now has just over 35k on the clock. On the way to the Skoda dealer something hit the windscreen hard and cracked it 😠 so new windscreen needed, then Skoda told me the two front tyres are getting a bit low which I already knew, and then they said one of the rears has a split and the other a nail through it so four new tyres required as well. Quite an expensive month including the variable service, windscreen and four new tyres. Lets hope that lot keeps it going for a while 🤞.

Worth a try, it seems that the software has been changed somewhere between your 2019 and my 2023 MY version.
