The link provided by @BeaverRS has a menu option for Generation IV, the first few lines of which translate to ... "The Octavia IV (internal name NX) was first announced for the 125th anniversary of the Skoda brand on 05.02.2020." So, it seems that, in Škoda parlance, IV is Mk4 and iV is the PHEV variant.

The attached are how the side supports look in my car (these were factory fitted), hopefully helps a bit.

Do you have a photo of where the problem 2mm is or what you think is causing it? I can look in my car tomorrow.

Yes, it’s the drive mode selected. On my manual ‘box 2020 1.5tsi SEL FE, I get these modes… Normal Eco Sport Individual Selectable from this screen… As yours is a hybrid I assume you’ll have a few different drives modes as well as DSG modes; symbols may vary too depending on s/ware revision levels. I usually select Individual, which I have configured to put the climate control in eco mode but leave the rest at default settings.

Gut feel is that it is either drive mode or DSG mode. Do you have a wider shot so better able to see where on the virtual cockpit it is?

At each service mine has had 0w-20 long life oil(508 00 compliant), with the variable interval scheme (up to 20,000 miles or two years). It’s now at 75,000 miles and running sweetly. OK it’s not a VRS, a 1.5tsi manual 150ps, so a less powerful engine but the 0w-20 seems absolutely fine. These pages may help too… https://engineneeds.com/0w20-508-spec-oil/?__cf_chl_f_tk=dyfYG1VOj7B8tmhnWC7_1UVGIRnvr1stFuf6dcboqR4-1783416265-1.0.1.1-y4o4iJkM4R7O.wSiWbsy1gSET0kY7inpRpL8IbMcpx0

AIUI the infotainment system stores different volume levels for different things. For example, media playback and navigation directions and ring volume. Could it be that you’d turned down the ring volume at some point? Try calling a connected phone and using the steering wheel control turn up the volume before answering.

I'm currently running a 1.5TSI Octavia Mk4, but previous car was a '14 plate Superb Mk2 hatch 1.4TSI (manual 'box) which I bought in 2016 with 10k miles on the clock. Ran it for 4 years and 60k miles. Clearly the 1.4 won't have the oomph of a 2 litre unit but is plenty powerful enough for long hauls up the motorways and A9 from Hampshire to near Inverness, often fully loaded. I found the engine to be very flexible and 6th gear long enough for relaxed motorway cruising. On long runs I was averaging over 50mpg which I was very pleased with given the size of car. My now son-in-law has had it for over 5 years and it's done something like 140+k miles - and still running very nicely; rear springs are a bit tired though. Both SiL and I are surprised at how well the ol' bus is doing. If you're looking at 2016-18 era cars then that's likely a Mk3 Superb which I believe came with the updated 150bhp 1.4tsi engine, IIRC mine was 125bhp. One of the last Mk2 cars may suit your needs and will be a few £££s less - just a thought.

This from the pdf version Owners Manual I have...

Yes, I believe the cutouts are for the retractable cover. AIUI, the strap is for a first aid kit included in those markets where carrying one is mandatory (so not in the UK).

Oi! That’s my trick 😂😂😂 This morning, at 74,989, I set off headed south after a trip to N Wales - ok I said to myself, 10 miles in get Mrs Steve to prep the phone for a pic. Well, you know… … car is now on 75,239 🙄 Hey ho!

Translated to English… “My rearview mirror on the right tilts upwards from down while parking what could this be the case?” @faridjiaw01 - please note that somewhere in the guidelines/rules for these forums is the English should be used. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/guidelines/ OK to answer your question. There is a setting to enable the non-drivers side mirror to tilt when reverse is selected. I assume yours is set to rise upward rather than downward (to, for example, see the kerb line). Take a look in the online manual for how to set it up to behave as you would like it to be.

Parked opposite this little (literally) beauty, dwarfed by the Range Rover next to it. I really had forgotten how small the old minis were - and I, at 6’ 5”, drove one for 80k miles over five years.

Hmmm… interesting…. That’s about 5 miles up the road from me, and my 70 plate 1.5tsi SEL FE estate is on 75k miles. To look (heart) or not to look (head) - that is the question! Pleased to hear you’ve been pleased with it, hope the new one proves a worthy successor.

I suggest you take the V5C or proof or purchase just in case they need to verify it.
