AI Market Summary

Solid petrol performance with strong resale appeal — clean, modern engine and typically reliable for 5-year-old stock.
Fairly priced at median €26,725; strong demand (+16.3% year-on-year) reflects market confidence, though stock is steady at 22 active listings.
Watch for carbon buildup on direct injection valves post-80k km causing rough idle and power loss — plan professional cleaning if mileage approaches threshold.
If DSG gearbox fitted, check for judder at low speeds or stop-start traffic; mechatronic unit failures are documented — request full service history and transmission diagnostic report.
Have a pre-purchase inspection focus on engine cold-start smoothness and gear engagement feel during a test drive over varied terrain.
