JCB Skoda

When it comes to buying a used car, how can you be sure of its mechanical condition, mileage and history? Well it’s quite simple really - make sure it is a car included in our Approved Used scheme from a Skoda retailer and you’ll have no concerns - just peace of mind.

From our Approved Used scheme you will have the choice of either an Approved Used Skoda or a Retailer Approved Used other make of car.

Every Approved Used car for sale will have passed a thorough inspection and any problems found rectified. Most importantly, it will be entitled to up to 12-months warranty and a 30-day/1,000 miles exchange policy.

Confidence, peace of mind, reassurance. These are the virtues of buying an Approved Used car because every car has or is supported by:

Multipoint inspection
Comprehensive reconditioning and valeting
Mileage verification
Vehicle validation check
Skoda Approved Warranty
Skoda Assistance*
30-day/1,000 miles exchange policy†

And for Approved Used Skodas, a service history check and certificate are also provided.

Multipoint Inspection

Before any car is displayed, our skilled technicians conduct a thorough inspection both internally and externally, noting any defects that may appear.

This inspection covers:

Maintenance work
Operation of electrical components
Interior security check for operation and damage
Check doors for operation/damage
Visual check of exterior for damage
Check boot/luggage area
Under bonnet - for leaks and damage
Underside - for leaks and damage on ramp
On-road test

Following the multipoint inspection, any faults reported will be rectified by your Skoda retailer. Any repair or maintenance work will be performed by a Skoda trained technician using Skoda original parts. As a final check, the vehicle will be taken on a thorough road test. Such procedures will ensure that, when you take to the road in your own demonstration drive, you’ll be driving a car in first-class condition that fully represents the high standards of Skoda.

Full valet

Both inside and out, every Approved Used car is completely refreshed to a high visual standard.

Mileage Verification

Every Approved Used vehicle has its mileage verified.

Confirmation will be passed onto you when you take delivery of your vehicle.

Service History Check

Evidence of regular servicing is important and if your choice is a used Skoda, your retailer is able to make checks through Skoda systems and produce a service history certificate.

If your choice is another make of car, your Skoda retailer will, of course, endeavour to provide evidence of the vehicle’s service history.

Acquiring your Used Skoda

With so many ways to acquire your car, it’s important to choose the method that best suits your individual circumstances. There are many factors to consider, whether you’re buying privately or as a business acquisition.

Through listening and responding to your needs, your Skoda retailer will be able to offer helpful guidance and discuss the benefits of the various options with you.

30 day/1,000 mile Exchange Policy

After taking delivery of your Approved Used car, if during the first 30-days/1,000 miles of ownership you are unhappy with your purchase, then you may exchange your vehicle for another. Obviously it must be in the same condition as when first purchased and exchanged for a similar priced vehicle. Terms and conditions apply, but your Skoda retailer will be pleased to supply further details.

Vehicle Validation

Skoda retailers know how important peace of mind is. By taking advantage of the specialist services available within the finance industry, your retailer is able to check against the large information databases that exist for your protection.

Every Approved Used car is checked against the following criteria to help ensure that no hidden areas may affect your purchase:
