Hello everyone, just to say hello to everyone here and introduce myself with my first ever Skoda purchase.

Me and the missus decided to purchase a 2016 Skoda superb se 1.4tsi act. I've never owned a Skoda before so this is my first on recommendations from a friend. Bought it the 29th October so only had it a few days and to say I'm impressed is an understatement. The build quality and smoothness of driving it is amazing. Having owned range rovers over the last 8 years I thought I could never find anything to at least match it. Unfortunately due to having major surgery I needed something more economical and cheaper to run, add it was costing me £200 a month just to keep it legal.

So far I've yet to find fault with anything, it's very comfortable to drive and the dsg box is very smooth indeed along with the engine just purrs like a kitten. Decided on petrol as I'm sick of the price of diesel rising along with dpf, egr and other diesel problems.

Very smooth to drive along with a very quiet cabin, interior build quality is extremely well put together. My missus loves it, even more so since she found the sports mode which I failed to tell her about, but now she's found it, oh well.

It's only done 75k but no service history, however I've spoken to a dealer and says it's digital and to call back Monday. The car has been very well looked after previously only doing 7-8k a year between MOT's and nothing worn on the car at all.

So yes, very happy so far.

Is there anything to expect as in surprising problems that may arise?

Thank you all.

If it’s 6 speed dsg it should be due a gearbox service soon. Interval is every 40,000 miles. (7 speed dsg is “sealed for life”) Check the service history when you get it to make sure it had the first one. If not I’d get one done asap for peace of mind and worth asking to see if the dealer will cover the cost as it missed the first one. Expect to pay around £300 to £400 at an independent and a bit more at agent.

Otherwise so long as it’s had all its other servicing then it should be all good.
