[real world octavia vrs diesel mpg figures]

I have done 4k since March and its had roof bars on with 2 bike carriers and regularly 2 mountain bikes car does 50mpg

Before I put them on probably the first 1k it was averaging around 58mpg I would say 75% motorway miles the rest around town

[Value my car. ..pretty please]

There are no VAT implications when a private individual sells or part exchanges a car. Used cars come under the second hand goods scheme for VAT purposes which means when the dealer sells the car on they only pay over the VAT on the profit they have made on the sale. A simple example would be a dealer takes a car at a cost of £20,000 no VAT is paid over to HMRC say they then sell it for £21,200 the VAT the dealer gives to HMRC on the sale is £200.

Gross profit is £1200

Net profit is £1000

VAT is £200

I am an accountant and have had extensive dealings with clients in the motor trade for over 20 years hope this clears it up.

[Driving's good but cycling is better !]

Got sick if transporting my mountain bike in the back of my mini wheels off seat off and front seat pushed fully forward so i could get it in

I got thule roof bars and bike carriers so I could carry more than one bike

When I only need to transport one bike I will chuck it in the boot

I will be using them for my vrs estate when I get it in March just need to buy a new foot pack for about £70

Looked into a tow bar and rack but the extra cost was to high for me
