The SKODA OCTAVIA (2013-17) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 TSI SS 180 EU6 LAURIN & KLEMENT DSG AUTO7 is a well-equipped petrol family hatchback, combining practical five-door space with a more premium feel. In the UK, the Octavia is known as a roomy, sensible alternative to the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, with generous space for passengers and luggage. Mycarcheck.com records show 19 look-ups covering 10 different cars, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Across those checks, average private-sale valuation was £8,100, recorded mileage averaged 74,000 miles, and annual mileage was around 11,000. Vehicles had averaged about 1.5 previous keepers. The 1.8-litre engine and automatic gearbox suit drivers wanting brisk performance for commuting, motorway trips and family duties; the Laurin & Klement trim adds an upmarket touch. It is less focused on low running costs than a smaller-engine hatchback, but stands out for comfort, space and performance in a package.
