Ok, so I know a man that's got a relatively recent one of these (estate obviously as it's STW), and I am sorely tempted by it, but I have a little bit of a worry about the high mileage for the age of the car: It's an '06, but it has done a healthy 137k miles.
Now, I'm no stranger to high mileage cars (current 4x4 has 215k, my old Golf had 135K when I bought it and over 200k when sold), but this has got a lot of things on it that could be problematic at that sort of mileage, and I don't want to have to spend a lot of money in the first six months getting head gaskets changed (like I did with my Omega), or the gearbox changed (like my old Rover), or the engine changed (like my Golf).
So, the question for those Octavia owners out there: What should I be looking for as potential problem points in such a car with such mileage?
Cheers all
