Thank you all for your great replies! Those Trustpilot reviews have sealed it for me. Swerve. As a side note, 2017 manual, petrol VRS estates don't stay on sale for long on Autotrader!

I own a '65 Fabia estate and as much as I love it, I want to level up to an Octavia VRS. This example has done 103,000 miles in 3 and a half years. I assume largely motorway miles. Price almost reflects that. What components would you expect to see replaced by this mileage? No mention of new brakes, clutch, suspension e.t.c in advert. Would an engine rebuild be required within 50,000 miles? Slightly tempted yet wary of low price. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this. They passed my MOT today, yet put Cam belt change "urgent" on my service health check. Confused why they'd pass the MOT if it was a serious problem. I was quoted £479 for the Cam belt replacement. 5 year anniversary today and 61,000 miles done. Which independent garage did you use? I'm also based in Plymouth.
