I’ve been keeping an eye on used Skoda Superbs as I’d like one for my next car. I’m actually not too bothered which fuel to get. Ideally I started off wanting a 1.5 tsi as I like the tsi engines but then I found theres a lot of tdi engines out there so began taking another interest in diesels, in fact I looked at a very nice 2021 SE L estate 200 ps dsg model but decided to keep looking as it was £25k and just seemed a bit expensive for its year.

Ive kept overlooking the phev version but they seem to be going for quite a few thousand less than the normal petrol or diesel’s. A 2021 iv estate can be had for around £19k.

Are they that bad ? What am I missing ? 

I noticed the same, following with interest on iv prices 

They are definitely cheaper than the rest. £19k definitely gets a 2021 estate with 36 k miles.

A few possible reasons that I can think of (pure speculation, no facts to back it up with):

 

IV more likely to be driven by company car drivers with less incentive to look after them properly.

Smaller boot/less practicality.

More complex - perceived higher repair bills in the long run.

Supply and demand I would say. When I bought mine exdemo 3 years ago there weren't many around. Fast forward 3 years and I reckon a lot company cars leased on 36 months have now been handed back.
