Description
2005 (55) Skoda Octavia 2.0 FSI 4x4 Rare Petrol 4x4, Mechanically Sorted, Honest Sale
Selling my Octavia FSI 4x4 the less common petrol/all-wheel-drive version of this generation, not the usual TDI. In the family since 2008 (previously my mother's), owned by me since Feb 2025. Genuinely low annual mileage I drive a very short distance daily.
Mileage: ~136,500 miles (confirmed via MOT history)
MOT: Currently valid, car is taxed and on the road. Note: I'm unable to book it in for its next MOT until 3rd October sale would complete once my replacement car arrives in the next couple of weeks, so happy to arrange viewings/reservations now
Tax: Valid until February 2027
Recent mechanical work (receipts available for all):
Timing belt, water pump, oil cooler replaced
Rear brake calipers, pads, discs replaced, brakes bled
Front suspension: ball joint and link bar recently replaced (drop links, track control arms, and steering rack gaiter also done this year)
4-wheel alignment and tracking carried out
Exhaust flexi section repaired
Full service completed this year (oil, air, cabin filters)
Known issues buyer should be aware:
Driver's window: regulator was replaced previously and worked for a while, but the window no longer raises suspect the motor now, not yet diagnosed
Two small areas of surface rust on the lower sections of the driver's and front passenger doors have been identified and patch-treated.
Some additional minor age-related chips and scratches remain untreated on the bonnet, near a rear light, and at the top-right of the windscreen surround cosmetic only
Air conditioning not currently working unconfirmed cause
Genuine reason for sale looking to move to something newer, not due to any major mechanical concern. Mechanically the car has had significant investment and is in good order aside from the above. Viewings and reservations welcome now; completion once my new car arrives in the next couple of weeks.
