Its a UK car, is it possible to see the mileage which was recorded at NCT online somewhere

going looking at a 2015 Octavia with 100k miles on the clock. I have an OBD scanner I purchased for 30euro from LIDL/ALDI a few years ago. Will I be able to use it with the Octavia to see is mileage genuine or anything interesting. Is it even compatible with an Octavia.

Going to look at a 2016 Octavia 4x4 1.6tdi estate later today, its clean with 150k miles on the clock. Timing belt has been done. Im new to the VAG world, anything I should be looking out for A mate says great car he has the 4x4 2.0tdi, my rear diff got noisy VAG wanted 6k for replacement, I opened it up and put in new bearings £30. Is this dual mass flywheel guaranteed to fail sometime and dpf ready to get blocked, it was doing a lot of long drives. Other than wheel bearings and rear shocks the other says he has required no other repairs, other than tyres and basic servicing. Was i to fit a hitch is it the same hitch as would fit a regular saloon ? Is it possible purchase the manual for such a car online, I mean the proper manual which has 5000 pages in it which shows everything and how to repair etc.

Approx 50k over Last 5 years , you would be worried it was pootling around and egr and dpf iare nearing full

Do I read this right you have to remove front bumper or wheel arch liner to replace fog light bulb, bit excessive isn't it How about regular headlight bulbs

The servicing stuff I am aware of Im aware of the scandal but what was the fix and is it a problem item

about to purchase a SH diesel octavia, the 1.6 is more common than the 2.0 and then of course there is the VRS. wont be buying the VRS but wouldn't mind either the 1.6 or the 2.0. Which is the more reliable. ? and i guess what are the common issues. Is the gearbox the same regardless of 1.6 or 2.0. ?
