It seems a nice car for the money. Are those engines no good then?

So I’m looking to buy a car. I have found a nice looking Skoda: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202202122466182?advertising-location=at_cars&price-to=2000&postcode=l192rf&model=Superb&page=1&radius=40&make=SKODA&include-delivery-option=on&sort=relevance Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Will have to keep looking.
-
It had done 150k. I was offered it for £1500, then £1200, but the dealer listed it on eBay and never told me mind, sold for £800. Which no doubt someone will sell for a profit. The shocks and springs must of been quite bad for them to be replaced. It may have been an advisory on the next MOT.
-
Cars been sold unfortunately.
-
Would anyone be able to help me in sourcing either a condenser or compressor. I’m not sure on the model numbers etc.

Could this topic be closed or removed please.

Wow that’s expensive! I now know why many people don’t bother.
-
I’ve another thread I’ve popped this in. As it seemed more appropriate. Just general advice about the car. What to look out for, common issues etc.
-
What sort of cost would I be looking at for the condenser or compressor?
-
They have said they’ve tried a re-gas but it’s not solved the issue. Would anyone have any ideas on what it could be?
-
The only thing they have said is the Air Con does not work.

Thanks Mike, I’m going to have a look at it over the weekend. I’ve read some horror stories about the BXE engines. Would you say that this one should be fine. Depending on if the oil has been changed regularly and the correct grade?

Some more images

Hi Mike, Thank you for coming back to me with some great advice. I’ve done a v check on the car: https://www.vcheck.uk/report/AM08ZNA-ME4YT6T I will certainly check the VIN number to make sure the paint matches. There is also a lot of receipts with the car. The dealer sent me some photos. So I will have a good look through them. I will do the check you mentioned also. The door on the drivers side looks like a reflection. I’ve some images of the rear. Cheers, Rob

I’ve seen this car advertised at a local dealer. Would anyone be able to give me some help and advice on it please. It’s got full service history, 4 new tyres, waterpump, cambelt, brake pads and discs all round, new shocks and springs all round. Some images attached.
