I have the opportunity to buy a super high-mileage (+400k miles) Skoda Octavia for £200. Would you want to see a series on it? And if so, what should we do with it? Alex Kersten 01 Mar 2018 Previous I Just Bought This Bargain 50k-Mile Skoda Octavia vRS Estate Next Do You Really Know The Basics Of Driving? Comments Inspecting the engine for wear and tear would be good Sleeper!!!! Test it’s endurance? Drive it from lands end to John O’groats, or do a whole lap of the M25 Ever done a demolition derby? Make it a racecar cheap projects: yes. Too cheap projects wehere you destroy the car at the end: no. For sure! I’d love to see a teardown of how the drivetrain and everything looks after that mileage. Try and do a bit of Gymkhana Please please do one more series like you did with the Lexus (turning a regular car into a track weapon) Make it a grand tourer and drive to Monaco in it.
