The SKODA SUPERB (2008-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 TSI 160 SE DSG AUTO is a large family hatchback with the space and comfort of a more expensive executive car. In the UK used market, it offers a practical alternative to models such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat, especially for buyers wanting generous passenger room without choosing an SUV. The 1.8-litre petrol engine and DSG automatic gearbox give this Superb an easy, smooth character for commuting and longer journeys, while its roomy cabin and unusually useful boot suit families, business users and anyone carrying bulky shopping. Its clever tailgate can open in two ways, adding flexibility that helps distinguish this hatchback from conventional saloons. mycarcheck.com has recorded 63 checks across 18 VINs: average mileage was 100,000, annual use 7,000 miles and four to five previous keepers; average private-sale value was £3,100.
