AI Market Summary

**Competitive pricing and decent demand.** Market is steady at €13.7k median; 6 active listings and 28-day sales cycle suggest fair availability without urgency. Price up 6.6% year-on-year, reflecting broader market strength.
**PureTech engine carbon buildup risk emerges post-80k km.** Direct injection engines prone to rough idle and hesitation without consistent quality fuel; budget for potential carbon cleaning (€300–600) if mileage creeps higher or symptoms appear.
**Electrical niggles are real.** Dashboard warnings, infotainment dropout, and intermittent power steering loss reported. Not catastrophic, but irritating; test all electrics thoroughly and confirm infotainment responds consistently during viewing.
**Manual gearbox can feel notchy when cold, especially 1st/2nd.** Not a showstopper, but listen for grinding during first few shifts after standstill. Smooth engagement should return once warmed; if grinding persists, gearbox service or repair may loom.
**Check NCT history and fuel grade used.** Verify last NCT pass (required every 2 years from age 4); ask seller whether they've used quality fuel consistently to minimise carbon deposit risk on this engine.

The 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine is relatively simple with a timing chain (not belt), reducing major service intervals; however, direct injection engines require quality fuel and occasional carbon cleaning to prevent deposit build-up.
