I have owned the car since 4th February 2017 on 153,612 miles. The moment it has needed something I have done it, it looks like the previous owners have too as the service history folder is the biggest one I've ever seen! I am an ex Rolls Royce and Bentley mechanic so I have carried out all of the work myself. I serviced it more regularly than it needed to be done to keep the engine in the best possible condition as I was driving 15k miles a year.

Modifications:

Octavia VRS 312mm front brake setup including flexi hoses

Bohemia black interior

Rear mudflaps

Black arch spats (never seen another one with them on before)

Meyle heavy duty console bushes

Meyle heavy duty ARB droplinks

Remap 169hp and 391.2Nm (dyno printout)

Since owning it I have done the following:

Genuine headlight back panels fitted 21/8/17

Genuine brake light switch fitted 21/8/17

23/6/18 pagid refurbished rear n/s brake caliper fitted and brakes bled again.

At this point I no longer needed to use the car so I tool it off the road and stored it until I needed it again.

MOT passed 29/11/19 with no advisories after sitting for nearly 18 months!

29/11/19 Genuine Cambelt, waterpump and serpentine belt fitted with Comma g40 red coolant on 175,103

11/12/2019 new Varta E38 battery fitted

20/02/20 Bilstein B4 rear dampers fitted on 178,592 miles

I also have a set of brembo discs and pads for the rear to go with the car and a boot full of spares from my wife's 1.4 mpi fabia that I broke for spares a couple of years ago.

Bad bits

Bodywork has some rust around sills which have been stone chipped black.

Rust on one rear arch by sill

Lacquer peel on both mirrors and one spot on the roof

Paintwork isn't the best but it is 17 years old!

Someone fitted an aftermarket alarm for some reason and then removed it leaving a small hole in the dash below the headlight switch.

Drivers foot carpet getting pretty worn out

Thermostat packed up a few weeks ago so it doesn't fully get up to temperature.

Sometimes goes in to limp mode under prolonged hard acceleration, turn it off and on then it drives fine. I have checked the VNT mechanism and this is free moving so I suspect a boost leak from the intercooler pipes but I haven't investigated it.

This car has been utterly reliable the whole time I have owned it and has been nothing but a pleasure, I will be sad to see it go but I don't need it anymore and I don't have room for it. As said the car is 17 years old so please don't expect a pristine car, however this car would be a perfect daily driver or basis for a sleeper project.

If it doesnt sell soon then I will end up breaking it for parts.
