Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You often load a pushchair, dog or bulky bags: an estate layout could be useful. Try your own luggage rather than judging by the exterior size.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at 198,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the Mk3 Octavia (facelifted 2017-era) estate, commonly fitted with 1.6 or 2.0 TDI engines and a DSG automatic transmission. Key things to note: DSG gearboxes need periodic oil/filter service, diesel engines can suffer EGR/DPF carbon build-up if mostly used on short trips, and some 2.0 TDI variants use AdBlue — confirm whether the car has an AdBlue system and its service history. The estate body gives a large boot and useful practicality compared with the hatch.
- DSG gearbox service history — confirm oil/filter changes at recommended intervals (commonly ~60k km) and look for hesitation or error codes
- DPF and EGR condition — ask for evidence of regular long runs or forced regenerations and check for limp-mode or heavy smoke on startup
- AdBlue system (if fitted) — tank level, injector faults and dashboard warnings; some 2.0 TDIs require this
- Timing belt/cambelt change record — verify it has been replaced per VW Group schedule
- Turbocharger health — watch for whistling/whining, excess smoke or slow spool which indicate wear or boost leaks
Spanner’s our AI mechanic — always have a proper look at the car in person before buying.
2017 Skoda Octavia 1.6 TDi Automatic in excellent condition with full service history. The car will be sold on Irish plates (VRT included in the price) and will be registered to the county of the new owner. It comes with a new 2-year NCT and a 6-month warranty, extendable to 12 or 24 months. We acquired this car directly from its previous owner, a university professor in County Antrim, who owned it for seven and a half years. No expense has been spared in maintaining the car: comprehensive servicing since new (nine services in total), initially by Skoda and more recently by a reputable garage. A full service has just been completed, including a new timing belt and new water pump; the oil pump belt was also replaced as a precaution. All servicing and other work is fully documented by printouts/receipts. The car includes the owner's handbooks, two keys, a clear vehicle history report and a full-size spare wheel. Inspections and test drives are welcomed and encouraged. Trade-ins are accepted. Finance is available. Nationwide delivery to your front door is possible.
