SKODA has sold its 10,000th approved used vehicle since the current Approved Used Car Programme was launched in January 2001.

In that time the number of Skoda retailers taking part in the scheme has risen from 33 to 126 – more than 75% of the Skoda network. Used car manager for Skoda UK, Paul Grimsley said: 'To reach sales of 10,000 used vehicles is a fantastic landmark and a great package for buyers.'

The scheme ensures a consistent standard of used vehicles, with a minimum 12-month warranty.
