Should you buy a used Skoda Superb SE TDI?

A typical Skoda Superb SE TDI owner drives around 10,363 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.
