Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Recall check by VIN. Ask a Skoda dealer to check open recalls by VIN. Ask for proof of any driver airbag or injector work. Bad result: an open campaign, or no proof for a car built 2014 to 2018 or a 1.0 TSI built 2018 to 2019.
- Foot brake and handbrake. Press the brake pedal hard at a stop. Pull the handbrake on a slope. Bad result: a pedal that feels weak or uneven, or a handbrake that sticks or does not hold.
- Brake discs. Look through the wheel at the disc edge. Bad result: deep grooves, or discs that look worn down to the edge.
- Exhaust. Look under the car at the silencer and the pipes. Bad result: holes, cracks or a loose box.
- Low beam. Switch on the low beam in front of a wall, from a fixed spot. Bad result: a light cut-off that sits too high or too low, or is uneven from side to side.
- Phone pairing. Pair your phone with the touchscreen during the test drive. Bad result: pairing fails or keeps dropping.
From the engine guide
- Oil level (no scanner needed). Check the dipstick and ask for the oil-use history. Bad: the level falls between services, or blue smoke comes out under hard acceleration. Ask for proof of any ring or head work.
- Coolant and water pump (no scanner needed). Check the coolant level when the engine is cold, and look under the car for wet stains near the pump. Bad: a low level or any leak. Ask for a dated invoice showing the pump was changed with the belt.
- Invoices. Ask for dated invoices with the mileage for any belt, pump, oil or software work. No record means budget for the job.
- Recall check. Enter the VIN in the official recall check for the car's country. Bad: an open campaign on the car.
