Thanks for the advice! Strangely the recommended servicing schedules in Europe are different to the UK - every 2 years, not 1 (and even the timing belt replacement times are different). So this one I'm looking at is missing 1 service (which should have been in 2021). Importing isn't possible, even within the EU - there are crazy import taxes on diesel imports.

Hi, I'd appreciate any opinions on this purchase...I'm looking at a 2018 Skoda Superb estate, 2.0 TDI 190hp 4x4 DSG auto in the L&K trim. It's done 107k km. Everything looks good, but there is a hole in the service history: 2019 service @ 22k km no service history until... 2023 service @ 92k km (incl. dsg transmission oil and 4x4 oil change) 2025 service @ 107k km of course it's possible the 2021 service was done, but not recorded. But if the car did 70k km and 4 years with no service (and no transmission/4x4 oil change) what do you think the long term damage risk could be? Should I buy it or walk away? p.s. I'm in the nordics, so 2nd hand prices are crazy. This car is €26k, which is reasonable for age/mileage
