The SKODA OCTAVIA (2017-20) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 TSI SS 150 EU6 SE L DSG AUTO7 is a roomy, five-door family hatchback, sitting between mainstream hatchbacks and larger estate-style cars for practicality. Its petrol engine and automatic gearbox make it an appealing all-rounder for UK roads, with useful space without the bulk of an SUV. In mycarcheck.com data, this model attracted 817 look-ups covering 182 different vehicles, giving buyers a substantial sample to consider. The checks show an average recorded mileage of 39,000 miles and average annual use of 8,000 miles; the average keeper count is about 1.3, suggesting many examples have had one previous owner. The average private-sale valuation recorded was £12,000, a useful reference point rather than a guide to any individual car’s price. Roomy and easy to drive, it suits families and commuters wanting more space than a Golf or Focus, yet avoids the bulk of an SUV.
