legal?

This is from Skoda UK's website for their extended warranty, no mention of their standard new car warranty or their one year used car warranty so I guess that there are no exclusions for use as a taxi...

Never been my experience, and I've bought new motors from local dealers and the taxi centre.

Skoda don't do their old unlimited mileage warranty anymore, they get stung when they first bought the Octavias out.
