AI Market Summary

Cheap, cheerful runabout with decent practicality for city driving and commuting — modest fuel economy supports Irish budgets.
Fair value at median price; supply stable and demand steady, so no urgency to overpay — €8,480 is realistic market rate.
Door handles (interior and exterior) fail from plastic fatigue; electric window motors especially driver's side commonly fail post-80k km — budget for both.
Before buying, check all four door handles and windows operate smoothly, listen carefully for interior trim rattles when driving over bumps.

The 1.2L PureTech petrol is relatively low-maintenance with no timing belt replacement required (chain-driven), but watch for rocker cover gasket seepage and electrical connector corrosion on fuel pump; regular servicing at 15,000 km intervals will help avoid carbon build-up on direct injection valves.
