What should I look for in a used Skoda Octavia?
The vRS is a large and immensely practical hatchback, so it might have been used for a variety of duties, including family chores and taxi runs, not just for pleasurable drives on country lanes. Always check mileage details and the car’s history. Look at the bodywork for signs of scuffs, which could be the result of tight urban car parks, and the wheels for any kerb damage. Check the operation of the seats and that they all fold as they should, and make sure the fabic or leather is in good condition.

The vRS didn’t feature as a standalone model in our most recent reliability survey, but the standard Octavia did well in the family car class, with the diesel-engined cars finishing in third place. Just 10% of Octavias suffered a fault, and most problems were fixed quickly. Skoda as a brand finished in seventh place out of 37 manufacturers.
