Škoda Octavia, 2021, Lappeenranta

A Škoda that has not sat in a garage – but worked its way around Finland

If this Škoda could talk, it would not tell tales of Sunday drives to the ice-cream kiosk.

It would tell of early mornings, long stretches of motorway and kilometres travelled from one end of Finland to the other. It has seen more service stations than many sales representatives and spent more time on the road than the average Finn spends at their summer cottage.

So this is an honest workhorse – a 2021 Škoda Octavia 1.4 Hybrid with automatic transmission. It can travel a long way on electric power too, making it exceptionally economical!

The odometer reads 193,000 kilometres, but there is no need to be afraid of the mileage in this car’s case. These kilometres have not come from short cold starts and pottering around town, but mainly from long-distance driving. The car has been used for exactly what the Škoda Octavia was made for: driving.

And although it has worked hard, the workhorse has also been well cared for. The car has been serviced on time and has reliably handled long working journeys throughout Finland.

The equipment level is very comprehensive, so you do not have to settle for just a steering wheel and four wheels. The automatic transmission and hybrid technology make driving comfortable and sensible, both for commuting and longer trips.

The summer tyres were replaced last spring. The winter tyres have been used for two winters, and both the summer and winter tyres come on their own alloy wheels.

This is not a showroom exhibit kept in silk gloves and polished once a week to boost its owner’s ego. It is an honest, well-used and well-kept car, still ready to continue its journey with its next owner.

In this car, the kilometres tell the story of work done – not servicing left undone.
