Buying Tips for the Skoda Superb Mk1

  • Check front suspension carefully because the multi-link setup can feel expensive and tired on neglected UK cars.
  • Inspect the front footwells and convenience features for signs of water ingress from plenum drains or door seals.
  • Manual diesels should be quiet at idle; heavy rattling or vibration suggests DMF wear.
