Hi Tom,
We asked Skoda about this one and here's the response:
The manufacturer recommends a replacement interval of 90,000 kilometres (note, not miles) or six years for air filters (whichever comes first). It feels that the quality of the genuine filter is sufficient for this duration.
However, at service, a technician will carry out a visual inspection and may recommend an earlier replacement if they feel it necessary. This would depend on the environmental conditions the car encounters.
Hope that's of interest
