Skoda Octavia buying advice?
I'm test driving a Skoda Octavia estate 1.9 DSI 2002 with 180k on clock, it has a lot of service history and i've seen they go on for well over 300k. I'm not a high mile user Prob 5-6000 a year , I don't think the mileage is too much for me as it will take a long time to click up miles . Is there any specific love or hates on this model should I look out for any thing specifically?

Still has an EGR that can give trouble, but no DPF and no turbo. As dull as Bexhill-on-Sea to drive.

We need a cheap way of moving a family of four. Considerations include safety and space so we were considering an estate. For a few hundred pounds, what car would you target?
