But I don't have the same experience. I have a Superb 3 diesel, bought it at 168000 km, now it has 222000 km and I'm sick of repairs almost all related to emissions. The DPF was very clogged, I cleaned it, replaced injectors, replaced the head cover (which has the PCV valve in it), now EGR got replaced, and there are plenty of other problems. And DPF shows some signs that is already getting clogged again. I drive 80% in town, pretty slow traffic. During cold winters doing a round trip to school , the engine is not even fully warming up, even if I live on high hills. What could I loose? Over 20k Euro transformed instantly in a worthless 1.7 tons paperweight. 😁

I have pictures from the local Skoda dealer who sells the car. It looks good enough when it comes to bodywork, also the underneath seems to be good. My real worry is gearbox which Internet says is not very repairable, and also the state of the HV battery and the things around it (hear exchangers, AC compressor, cooling system, etc.)

Another piece of information... I made a test drive in electric mode, with battery charged to 89%. Outside temperature 28 C. I managed to make 40 km in city traffic, in some areas start-stop traffic, later getting stuck in traffic for about 15-20 mins, then drove 110-130 km/h for few km on a motorway, significant altitude difference across the test. 17.4 kWh / 100 km. I somehow expected to get a little bit more ....

The car is from Germany. It was serviced regularly: gearbox oil was changed every 60.000 km. Engine oil was first changed at 17 000 km Spark plugs also changed at 64 000 km and 128 000 km Filters changed Brakes. Service and cleaning Wiper blades Also, A heat exchanger was replaced. But I don't know if it is related to battery cooling or not. I have the service history, seems that it was properly maintained. Also, seems that every year the usage was very consistent. only 1-2k km difference from one year to another. But what I don't know is driving patterns. Did some rough calculations, assuming it was a company car, used mostly during work days, I get around 130 km / working day. Which I don't know if it is a good thing or not. It might be driven mostly electric each round, charged at office during the working hours, then drove back home. If that is the case, then I expect a high number of charge cycles, around 1400 if I remember my calculations correctly. 1400 cycles. High? Low? Average? I really don't know how to evaluate the overall condition of this car. Is not that easy like a petrol/diseel car.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and hoping to tap into the collective wisdom here! I'm currently in the market for a used car and have my eye on a Skoda Superb iV. The specific car I'm looking at is a little over 4 years old and has 140,000 km on the clock. I'm really keen on the Superb iV for its practicality, comfort, and the benefits of a PHEV, but the mileage has me a bit conflicted. On one hand, it's an attractive price point, but on the other, I'm a little hesitant about the longevity and potential issues that might arise with a plug-in hybrid with such mileage. So, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences! - How do you feel about a Superb iV with 140,000 km? Is this considered high mileage for these cars, especially considering the hybrid system? - What should I expect at this kind of mileage? Are there any common issues or maintenance points that typically come up around this age/mileage for the Superb iV? I'm particularly interested in opinions on the battery health and any specific hybrid component concerns. - Do you think this could be a good buy, or is it too risky? Would you advise looking for something with lower mileage and a higher price tag for peace of mind, or do you think a well-maintained Superb iV can handle this mileage without significant problems? Any advice, insights, or personal experiences you can share would be hugely appreciated! I'm trying to make an informed decision and your input would be invaluable. Thanks in advance!
