I’m looking at buying a skoda octavia vrs tdi what’s highest mileage i should be considering 

Welcome to the forum.

 

What is the top end of the budget and do you want one with a Service History of stuff all done and no need for you to spend on service items not carried out even if the car shows as having a Full Service History.

That can be a history that shows stuff that might be outstanding so this requires you to budget for that work.

i'm at 117k  .. 2012 Vrs TDI 2.0 125w estate - i had a load of service invoices and the service book ... but i missed the DSG oil and filter ... and cam belt and tensioner moments ... i have a  trusted garage i worked at .. so that was 200 and 500 for those done properly .. they fitted a gates cam belt ...we use them ..S&S gates kevlar drive belts on 1700cc motorcycles for 25k easily 

 

but yes as toot highlights check this stuff ..i paid 5800 for mine 

 

oh and get the radio code of the owner and last used oil type used helps 

 

 

to add ... tosay the mechanics insisted i didn't worry about mileage on a skoda diesel 2 litre ... 'nothing smaller than 2 litre'

need to see the service invoices and the service book from new ...otherwise things didn't happen 

 

some biggish bills like cam belt and waterpump every 4 yars on some 

 

and if automatic [wet plates] when the ddg oil and filter were changed
