AI Market Summary

Cheap to run on motorway — excellent fuel economy and low CO2 tax band for Irish drivers doing regular long trips.
Fairly priced for the market; at €10k you're paying fair value, not overpaying relative to other 2018 small diesels.
DPF blockages are the main risk on this engine, especially if previous owner did short urban journeys only — request full service history proving regular motorway miles.
Check all interior electrics before purchase: test lights, dashboard, and power windows thoroughly — poor connector contacts are common and pricey to repair.
Injector problems (hard starting, rough idle) are typical on 1.5 BlueHDi; listen for rough cranking and ask seller about any recent engine work or diagnostic codes.
