Hello all,

That's my 2019 Skoda Octavia L&K away. Its been emotional. The car was sat on the driveway 99% of the time, so its time it went to a new home.

I will be visiting less often, but that doesn't mean I will completely disappear.

The thing that spooked me; it had a Skoda warranty and repaired as such, but air conditioning compressor had failed, and the front calliper had failed. That bill came to £2500 for Skoda Financial Services.

Its almost a 7 year old car.

Somebody will enjoy it - it will probably be advertised online soon.

I've had a MK2 Octavia Scout [Barnie Rubble/Trouble], a MK3 Octavia Scout [Hewie], a MK3 Octavia VRS TSI 230 [Red Run], a MK3 VRS TDI190 [probably my favourite VRS - it sat on the autobahn for 12hrs doing 130mph all day - didn't miss a beat] a MK3 Octavia 4x4 VRS [less said on that one the better], a MK3 Octavia Scout TDI190 [Silver] and my Octavia L&K TSI190 [UJE].

I'm taking a break from Skoda ownership for now. I've also got a personalised numberplate for sale too.

Enjoy your break from Skoda and wish you well on your next vehicle purchase.

It is always difficult to let go of a car that has been part of your daily life, even if it was not driven often. Repairs like an AC compressor and brake caliper can be costly, especially as vehicles age. You made a practical decision. Hopefully your next car brings reliability and a more active driving experience.

Wishing you all the best, and hope to still see you around!

Having just done some wiring work on my vRS, and recently driven my dad's new 1 Series, I'm wondering if my next car will even be German, let alone from VAG.
