Median per year. New price: what the car cost new in the Netherlands, the RDW catalogue price (incl. VAT, BPM and factory options, without delivery costs). For cars imported used: the Dutch catalogue price of that version. Value kept: asking price divided by the car’s own new price. Drop per year: value kept against the next newer year; a plus means that year asks relatively more. Older cars have more miles, which is part of the drop. * Fewer than 5 cars: indicative only. Asking prices, not sale prices.

Who buys a used Škoda Octavia?

The Octavia Combi is one of the most chosen company estates in the Netherlands. It offers the space of a bigger car for the price of a compact one, with one of the largest boots in its class. So there are many ex-lease examples with high mileage and full dealer history. Buyers are families, business drivers, caravan owners and taxi firms.

Price is set by engine, gearbox, mileage and trim. A Combi with the 1.5 TSI and DSG, Business Edition kit and a tow bar fetches the most. The RS has its own buyers. With the plug-in (iV), buyers check the charging cable and battery; with diesels, the emission class. Use the fair price check to see whether your asking price is right.

FAQ about the Škoda Octavia

Is the Octavia Combi a good caravan tow car?

Yes, for most caravans. Towing capacity depends on engine and gearbox. Look up the exact figure with the plate check.

Is an Octavia RS worth more?

Yes, usually. The RS has more power, sportier equipment and its own enthusiasts. Buyers look at servicing and whether the car has been modified.

Can an old Octavia TDI enter low-emission zones?

Only with Euro 5 or higher in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Arnhem. Octavia II diesels from before around 2009 may be Euro 4. Check with the low-emission zone check.
