Hi all,
I currently drive a 2003 Skoda Octavia, mechanic has told me to get rid within the next 12 to 18 months as its engine is going/burning a lot of oil, just passed NCT so NCT'd till Jan 31 2018. I dont have much cash to looking to get a similar car but a few years newer. Any comments on this car here?

Anyone advise if it would last me for another 3 years or so? I know without knowing the individual car its just an opinion but since i'm not into cars an educated guess would probably be better than my guess...
Any help appreciated.

Budget between 4k to 6k max.
