AI Market Summary

Direct-injection 1.4 TSI engines suffer carbon buildup — rough idle, hesitation, poor fuel economy common; 1.8 TSI prone to ignition coil failures causing misfires.
DSG gearbox judder at low speeds (parking, crawling) is known issue; some resolve via software update, others need clutch replacement—confirm smooth operation before buying.
Median mileage (65k km) sits well below Irish average for 10-year-old car; verify mileage records and full service history to rule out missing data or heavy motorway use.
Fairly priced relative to market; strong demand (51 active listings, 27-day average) suggests fair competition—no obvious bargain or premium.
NI import saves €284 before VRT; after VRT, NOx levy, and registration, saving typically eroded—only pursue if vehicle history fully verifiable.
