@e-Roottoot Good points to be fair! the service history is certainly going to be the prime focus on inspection!

Hi guys, many thanks for the responses! It’s the 2.0 diesel, the 148bhp version. I’m starting the road trip tomorrow to look over the car and it’s history.

Good afternoon, ladies, gents and everyone else! brand new to the forum which as you can probably guess means I’m brand new to Skoda! I’ve been shopping round for an Octavia scout and have found a 65 plate scout, with FSH and 1 previous owner - the catch, it’s on 90k miles.... now, the dealer wants 10k for it, but I’m concerned about the mileage and more specifically, the mileage I do per annum which is on the higher side. my question is, am I on to a good deal? Is the mileage too high? How reliable are these cars? Anything to look out for on a 65 plate scout? Is it likely to cost me thousands per annum going forward? Will they happily munch the miles without leaving me on the roadside? The intention is to own the car long term! I service my own vehicles and plan on keeping it services before the recommended schedule! Many thanks!
