Colour: Black Metallic

Mileage: 222,904

Price: £1750  (£1500)

Description:

URGENT SALE: Moving house this weekend. The car must be sold and collected by Saturday evening (April 4th). I have reduced the price significantly for a hassle-free sale. The first person to view and offer £1500 takes it. I will not accept a penny less, so please no offers below this figure.

It is with a heavy heart that I am saying goodbye to my beloved Octavia. I have owned this car since January 2013, and honestly, it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It has never once let me down. We have road-tripped across Europe multiple times, from Gibraltar to Ukraine, and she never skipped a beat. I am moving abroad and simply cannot take her with me, so I’m posting here first in the hope that another Škoda enthusiast will look after her as I have.  

Condition: Used — Enthusiast maintained

Service History/Receipts/Recent Service work: This car has been meticulously maintained with oil changes twice a year regardless of mileage.

• MOT: Freshly passed on 10th March 2026.

• Last Service: Full service including all filters completed on 9th March 2026.

• Tyres: Plenty of life left; rears are over 4mm and fronts are over 6mm.

• Documentation: Sale includes two keys, the original Škoda brochure, and a massive folder of invoices and historical records.

Extras: Electric Leather Recaro seats from an Audi S3: These are wired into the car and function perfectly at the touch of a button.

• Passat B5 "Trippling" indicators

• Matching Spare Wheel: Includes a full-size matching alloy wheel as the spare

• Spare Parts: I am including a box of spares I have, including rear vRS brake discs and pads, caliper fitting kits, exhaust mountings, and several sump plugs, etc.  

Mods: Engine: Remapped to 136bhp with better torque. EGR deleted from the ECU.

• Exterior: Full vRS body kit (front and rear bumpers, tailgate spoiler) and 17" vRS Spider alloy wheels.

• Brakes: Upgraded to larger vRS front and rear brakes (discs and calipers).

• Interior: vRS steering wheel, gear knob, and handbrake sleeve.

   

Shipping: N/A  

Collection: Yes - from Leicester LE3

Note on "Bad Bits": To be 100% transparent, there are two minor items I haven’t had time to address. First, the sunroof is currently sealed shut with Tiger Seal due to a snapped spring clip; it is 100% watertight, it just doesn't open. Second, the exhaust was replaced with a standard Octavia unit during a trip to France in 2024. It works perfectly and requires no repair, but it isn't a vRS unit, so it doesn't quite fill the rear bumper cutout.

Having recently sold on a slightly newer VRS tdi with slightly more miles, I know what it takes to keep them looking good and mechanically tip-top. However your older car looks in better condition than what ours was. It's clear to me you know how to look after a car.

Good luck in your new home 👍

Many thanks for your message and the compliment on the car’s condition. It’s always rewarding when the effort to keep a car 'tip-top' is recognized by someone else in the community. Best of luck to you as well, and thank you for the kind wishes regarding our move!
