AI Market Summary

Direct-injection 1.4 TSI engines prone to carbon buildup—rough idle, hesitation, poor fuel economy. Budget for professional decarbonization if not done recently.
DSG gearbox shudder on low-speed manoeuvres is common; ask for service history proving software updates or clutch replacement. Test drive in car parks.
Ignition coil failures (especially 1.8 TSI) cause misfires and rough running. Inspect all four coils, check for diagnostic codes pre-purchase.
Priced fairly against market; solid VFM for the segment at €24k median. Check NCT history—car is now 10 years old and requires biennial testing.
Verify mileage is recorded—median 104k km sits slightly below Irish average for age, but confirm service stamps match odometer progression.
