In the UK, for a very long time they were Skoda Octavias.

I know of two ex-taxis that were scrapped at about five or six years old - one was taken off the road because of a deep paint scratch down to bare metal from about half way along the front wing to the rear door, rendering it beyond economic repair - with over half a million miles on the clock each.

Neither had been outside the Greater Glasgow area since they were dropped off on the transporter.
