A million kilometers on the original clutch: a unique Octavia Tour found in Iceland

According to the owner, the car has never undergone major repairs

Icelandic farmer Jómundur Ólason surprised a Skoda dealer by asking what his car's odometer would show after passing the 999999 km mark. As it turned out, the car owner, in addition to daily trips to the farm, traveled all over the country in his favorite car, first getting behind its wheel in 2007, although it had been in the family since 2003 and he got it from his wife.

The car still has the original engine, which has not been overhauled, the original gearbox and clutch. The owner believes that the secret to such endurance is simple: do not overload, do not overheat and service the car in time.

The unique car was handed over by the owner to a technical college in Reykjavik, where it will be used as a teaching aid for students. Jómundur himself decided not to betray his favorite brand and is now driving a new Skoda Octavia.
