Skoda Octavia *2 owners*Tow bar*, 2011, Rauma

Up for auction is a proper tow car for winter! It has genuine four-wheel drive with 4th-generation Haldex, meaning the four-wheel drive is electronically controlled and the car is not as thirsty as vehicles with permanent four-wheel drive. With fuel prices at this level, that surely matters!

A proper four-wheel-drive car must of course also have a tow bar, and this one does! The braked towing capacity is a useful 1,600 kg, so it can pull a somewhat larger trailer if needed.

The car’s history is close to perfect! It was first registered in Finland and has had only two previous owners. The previous owner has had it since 2016, almost 10 years! According to the service book, the car has also been serviced at a main dealer, apart from a couple of exceptions.

Technically, the car appeared to work normally during the test drive. The gears engaged smoothly and the clutch did not seem to slip.

Of course, the car is approaching 15 years old, so signs of use are inevitable, and this is not being sold as a new car. There is beginning rust on the tailgate, a fairly typical issue on these models, and there is also some rust on the inside of the doors. However, this is certainly not a severely rusted example!

All in all, a four-wheel-drive car with a good history and exactly the right features for winter and towing!
