This is my 3rd mk1 Octavia estate. I hat to sell my last one this year due to rust and it really liked it (130pd!). I bought another car but came across this and couldn't resist so I bought it too. Now I'm sitting with 2 cars and I don't need 2 cars.

 

One of the last of these ever made - and 118000 on the clock
MOT in March, advisories were surface rust on suspension components and some corrosion on brake pipes.


FSH up to 2016 or so. Then there is a gap to 2021, I understand it sat for a while.
Good tread on the tyres maube 6mm or so all round.

 

Bodywork:

This is my third mk1 octavia and I can tell you the bodywork on this is in really good condition. there are a few spots of rust from stonechips on the bonnet. The tailgates always suffer on these but there is no rust under the right side of the window (Good!). There is some starting to develop under the handle. Thankfully not visible yet unless you get under and look at it. The arches, skirts and doors are all good. 

wheels are 18s and I think might be from a TT.

things to note:
fixed! The gear shifting is a bit sticky but the box feels solid. I think the linkages need looked at. 
2 passenger window clips broke as I was driving it home; typical. I've ordered the fixing kits, so they will come with the car or, hopefully I'll get round to fixing them
The white in the interior is a bit grubby. White was a terrible idea...

I recently bought this car in Brighton and drove it all the way to Glasgow, didn't miss a beat Engine feels great and it returned 39mpg. Not too bad for 170bho turbo petrol.

 

Worth £1600 to anyone? I'm in Glasgow but can meet people within 70 miles or so if interested

 

just a few quick photos. Will get more soon
