Skoda has extended its no VAT offer until March 31, 2012 to help boost sales during the plate-change month.

The 20% off deal is available on selected petrol and diesel versions of the Fabia, Octavia and Superb models, in both hatch and estate body styles. Some variants of the Roomster are also included.

Skoda is also offering 0% finance deals on certain models over two years when customers put down a 50% deposit as well as free servicing for the first three years or 30,000 miles.

However, customers have to take out a PCP or HP package to qualify for the free servicing deal.

The Fabia 1.4 SE has also had its price cut by £3,000 for 2012. It is now prices from £8,995.
