Is this trade-in deal on a nearly new Octavia good?

Hi there.

I am thinking of purchasing a second hand (132) Skoda Octavia Elegance 1.2 petrol with 17k miles on it from a main dealer. I currently drive a 2001 Opel Astra (127k miles), which is due for taxing this month. The whole deal including trade-in comes to €16.6k net.

My annual mileage is circa 11,000 so I am wondering if the petrol version is the best option and if the price of the deal is reasonable in your opinion. I would welcome your advice as I have to make a decision in days.

Regards, John from Charleville.
