The fault
How you spot it
On the Mk3 Octavia the control arm bushes, the anti-roll bar links and the dampers start to wear above roughly 70,000 miles (a good 110,000 km), according to the service material. If they all fall due at once, the bill is a complete front suspension overhaul.

How we know
Information, not an expert opinion
We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.
- A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
- A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
- You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
