Finally got my Octavia VRS IV, ordered end Sept 2022, delivered 29th Jan 2024.

Another update! Ready for delivery next week! (18/12). So it will actually arrive slightly earlier than the original delivery date of 29th Dec 23. Looks like things are starting to improve.

Hi all, update on mine. Octavia VRS plug in, brilliant silver, no extras. Ordered late September 2022 as a company car in UK. Original delivery date was 29th Dec 2023. A couple of months ago this was changed to 29th Feb 2024. Had an email yesterday saying it was now expected late Jan 2024. Im assuming because its only 2 months between now and then that the car must have been given a build date? Getting this info from the lease company has been impossible. At least its been brought forward and not delayed again. If it does get delivered end of Jan it would have been 16 months.

Quick update on mine, VRS IV Hatch, silver, no extras, UK. Ordered end Sept 2022, original delivery date of 29th Dec 2023 (yeah right). Just been revised to 29th Feb 24, still no build date. Company lease.

Iam unfamiliar with the MY23/MY24 terminology. Is it Manufactured Year 23/24? Also if it’s a MY24 how does that differ from a MY23 model? I believe there’s a facelift expected soon, would that be a MY25? It’s been nearly a year since I ordered a VRS IV, I’m hoping I get it with the new facelift rather than sooner and it being out of date within a couple of months.

We should all start spamming their socials with our anger, advise people not to order a ŠKODA

That’s certainly the quickest I’ve seen since coming on this forum but it would have been a different story if it was an iV model, fingers crossed you get it when they say you will.

Thanks for your reply. What you have said I suspected anyway, I think Im just too far removed from the process and will just have to rely on waiting for the update page to change. Im aware of all the issues as a result of browsing this forum but I was hoping to see if I could find out if someone in the chain was given a build date at least. It seems all the information that gets passed to me is the supposed delivery date. Ive ordered a standard VRS IV in Silver

Anyone have any experience with company car leasing company ALD in the UK? It’s who mine is ordered with and I was wondering if they are forthcoming with any information if I rang them? Mine has been on order since September 22 and the information on my order has been showing a deliver date of 29th December 23 since shortly after I ordered it. This is the last working day of the year so I very much doubt it will arrive then. Just wondered if they have information like build date etc they would give it to me?

Could be an April fools??

Quite possibly

Just another snippet of info, I went into another Skoda dealer and they said that the factory is prioritising retail sales over lease/company car sales, don’t know how true that is.

I called into a Skoda dealer the other day to see if they had any information on lead times, played a little dumb to see what they say. He said that at the moment it’s an “e-noise emitter” that is causing delays and that’s having an effect on all IV models. He also said that the factory has given no time frames for the delays. Don’t know how true it is as it seems that the delays are down to multiple issues. I got the feeling he didn’t really know.

I was initially given 12 months then it updated to end of December. It might be the lease company being conservative seen as they’ve given the last working day of the year as a delivery date. That date stinks of “we have no idea, just tell him before the end of the year”.

Update on my VRS IV Hatch (silver no extras).... ordered very early October 2022, been given a delivery date of 29th Dec 23 which is the last working day of 2023 so no doubt will be later than that. This is a company car.

Yeah I realised the dealers couldnt be relied on when I got the 52/40 weeks estimates in the space of a week. My current company car is up in March so it will be the first time Ive had to get a company car MOT'd! After watching this thread for a while I know it could be anytime, I might get lucky and it lands in 12 months but probably not. The next model might be out by the time I get mine 😀

No, its due Q4 2023.

Hi all, Ive been lurking on here for a few weeks now but I finally have details of my company car order I placed a few weeks ago. I was told yesterday that its currently due Q4 2023. I had been into a couple of dealers to gauge lead times, one said 52 weeks another said 40. The order is a VRS iv hatch in silver. Its completely standard. Iam in the UK. Could someone add my details to the spreadsheet please? I can open it but not add to it. Cheers.
