Description
I am the second owner of this Skoda Octavia Scout 2.0 tdi manual. It is Quartz grey in colour, and is in very good condition, both mechanically and cosmetically.
The car was registered in May 2017. It's first owner had it serviced at a Skoda main dealer on 9.10.2018 at 13,749 miles and on 21.8.2019 at 22,543 miles.
I bought it in March 2020 and have had it serviced by a trusted independent mechanic who looks after all of the family cars. He has serviced it at 28,706 miles, 36,836 miles, 47,134 miles, 55,293 miles and at 66,865 miles. He has also serviced the Haldex diff (four wheel drive system) and replaced the timing belt and ancilleries including the water pump. The car has only had one fault identified during its MOT tests. One of the headlights was aimed too high.
I have two sets of wheels for the car. It is currently pictured wearing its "winter" wheels. These are Audi TT wheels (in the correct size) with nearly new Continental winter tyres. The price quoted is for the car with its "summer" wheels. These are original Skoda Octavia Scout diamond cut alloys with Pirelli Cinturato tyres. I'll post some pictures of these wheels when I get a chance. The winter wheels are available for sale.
The car is available for viewing in two places. My home in Hemel Hempstead on Thursday evenings, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. Alternatively at my parents house in Kettering, Northants. I am there with the car on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday mornings.
I fitted a factory spec Westphalia towbar to the car. It has been used to tow a motorcycle trailer which can only transport one motorcycle. Max load the car has towed is 300kg so no more than having 4 passengers.
The car currently has a personal number plate fitted, but it will be returned to its original "17" plate on sale.
Overall, this car has never let me down. It has completed every journey asked of it with no fuss. On a couple of occasions the four wheel drive and winter tyres have seen the car make light work of snow and ice. The car has been economical to run and is straightforward and reassuring to drive.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. I am always happy to talk cars. I won't discuss my lowest price on the phone though. I may be willing to listen to offers if you've seen the car, but I've looked at all of the other Scout diesels of this mileage and believe I've already priced it fairly.
