Interior

The interior of this car is extremely clean and tidy having just been valeted. There is no wear to any seat bolster and no dirt or staining on any of the seats. I have very recently had the steering wheel professionally re-profiled and re-trimmed in Napa leather with matching red and green VRS colour coded stitching which looks and feels fantastic.

Brand new genuine Skoda floor mats are also included in this sale, along with a set of rubber over-mats which I have always used to prevent wear.

This vehicle also benefits from cruise control - a very underrated and rare factory optional extra.

Exterior

The exterior of this vehicle is in very good condition. There is no corrosion, dents or noticeable scratches. The front of the vehicle has been subject to stone chips which is completely unavoidable on a vehicle of this age/mileage. There is a mark on the sill just under the drivers door where the paint has been rubbed by what I assume to be the drivers leg when entering and exiting the vehicle.

Both headlights have been recently replaced with genuine Skoda items as the originals were going slightly cloudy. This may sound quite insignificant but it makes the car look so much cleaner and also means the headlight beams are not distorted.

This car has not had bodywork repairs carried out to any metal panel. However, the rear bumper has had a scuff repair and the rear spoiler has been re-sprayed due to the plastic aerial rubbing strip shrinking in the sunlight, cracking/peeling the lacquer which is a very common issue on these cars. This work has been carried out to an exceptional standard and the only reason I know this work has been done is because it was carried out under my ownership.

All 4 wheels have been recently professionally refurbished in sparkling silver and are in immaculate condition. All 4 tyres were replaced 2 months ago with brand new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2’s – a fantastic premium tyre and well worth the hefty expenditure. A full 4 wheel alignment has recently been carried out also to prevent uneven tyre wear.

The rear wheel arches and sills have been professionally sealed to prevent corrosion.

Mechanical

This vehicle has always been serviced using the correct VW PD specification oil (501.01) which is very important as use of incorrect oil will lead to cam lobe wear, resulting in a hefty head rebuild bill. This specific oil requirement is due the PD injectors used in these engines.To this end, since buying the car around 5 years ago I have always carried out an interim 6 monthly oil change along with a full service each year.

All replacement parts used on this vehicle since my ownership have been genuine VAG/Skoda parts with a large wedge of documented receipts to prove – everything down to wiper blades and retaining clips are all genuine VAG/Skoda parts.

The cam belt was replaced along with the water pump and tensioner/idler pulley at 96,400 miles (March 15) – again, all parts were genuine Skoda items with receipts to prove.

The front wishbone/console bushes are prone to excessive movement so these have been replaced with PowerFlex polyurethane alternatives.

General

This vehicle is in exceptional condition for its age and requires no work.

The drivetrain is in fantastic condition. Please be aware that all PD130 and PD150 engines will smoke slightly on cold startup (normally for about 2 seconds) which is completely normal.

I also have an additional pair of refurbished wheels which are fitted with Continental TS850 winter tyres which have been worth their weight in gold (well, almost) when fitted to the driven wheels during winter months. The level of grip they have provided in poor conditions has been incredible – completely incomparable to the Goodyear summer tyres on the snow/ice. These are available with the car for an extra £200 (the tyres alone cost nearly £300).

I will include a set of Genuine Skoda roof bars should the buyer wish to take them.

I am a fully qualified Aircraft Engineer by trade so please take this as reassurance that this vehicle wants for nothing.

Viewing and test drives available but I request that an insurance certificate can be produced at time of test drive or the full cash amount be left in hand.

Vehicle is located in Lichfield, WS14 area
