The SKODA OCTAVIA (2013-17) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TDI CR DPF SS 150 EU5 SE BUSINESS 6SPD is a practical, mid-sized family estate: more load-friendly than a hatchback, yet easier to park and run than many SUVs. In the UK used-car market, it is a sensible all-rounder. It rivals Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf estates, with generous space and strong value. Its 2.0-litre diesel and six-speed manual suit regular motorway journeys, commuting and family holidays, while the estate boot gives useful room for shopping, pushchairs or work kit. The SE Business trim and relaxed, roomy cabin make it appealing to drivers covering distance, though this older diesel is best considered by buyers whose trips include longer runs. mycarcheck.com recorded 61 look-ups covering 39 VINs, with an average private-sale value of £5,500. Checked cars averaged 142,000 miles, 13,000 miles a year and about 1.5 previous keepers. These figures offer useful context when comparing similar estate cars today, not a guarantee of condition.
