Hi all, so newbie here and I have a 2003 VRS with 70k miles same owner from new (with the old style log book) till I recently took ownership of the car. Totally standard has had new timing belt fitted and fresh service and I am absolutely loving driving the car so my question is does anybody own or know of any others left with such low mileage ? Needs a new door seal as mine has perished and not the best condition but other than that it really wants for nothing this car, am I deluded in thinking it will only go up in value as I really can not find others out there like this one.

I found this post as I myself am looking for meets, VAG show in Cumbria is tomorrow which looks a good shout

I’m a newbie to the forum just got a 2003 Octavia VRS, same owner from new and I am Loving it, based in Manchester but willing to travel around to meet up with fellow enthusiasts and see other cars 👍🏼

Andy68 sorry if I sound a little dumb but will this be picked up at remap stage when I take it regards getting the latest coil packs changed ? As this is a totally standard car the gent bought it 20 years ago and had it serviced main dealer but no mention of coil packs on the service history ? To me it’s a rare car with the one owner and low miles hopefully be a good keeper car as I can not see anything online like this example

Guys thank for the tips I am now decided it is a long term keeper of a car so made my mind up I want it mapping 👍🏼 do I set a new thread up for this for recommendations? I am based in Manchester so would like a good place to take the car and have a proper job done on the car 👍🏼

Thank you both for the responses, so been out in the car today Manchester to Lancaster ( motorway) then found a long scenic route home and seriously the car is absolutely quality to drive it feels tight and solid, engine picks up smoothly and doesn’t miss a beat, just had new timing belt kit carried out on the car and they have swapped a hose will find out which one, and I think mind made up going to leave it totally stock, 70k I think is very low mileage for a 2003 so thinking it’s along term keeper car with many miles ahead of fun 👍🏼

Hi all, another newbie here and just picked up my Octavia Vrs, 2003 same owner yes same owner from new with 70k miles !!! Couple tiny dents on the bonnet but otherwise absolutely mint example, so do I keep it as is or book right in for a remap is the question ? Will remap devalue the car in the future, or is keeping it stock the better option and I will only be doing around 1500k miles a year (weekend use only)

Just managed to buy a 2003 Octavia Vrs 70k miles same owner from brand new, FSH so well happy right now
