AI Market Summary

Strong demand and 13.6% year-on-year price rise reflect market confidence; diesel X3s hold value well in Ireland.
Median mileage sits above typical Irish usage; verify full service history and that DPF regenerations have been logged consistently.
DPF clogging is common on urban-driven diesels—confirm no limp-mode episodes or forced regeneration warnings in service records before purchase.
Inspect EGR valve condition and fuel injector operation during test drive; rough idle or white smoke signals expensive repairs ahead.
Check NCT pass date and any advisories; two recalls on file warrant confirmation of completion with the dealer.
