AI Market Summary

Practical family hauler with flexible seating, good boot space, and efficient diesel engine — ideal for active Irish households doing regular school/shopping runs.
Median mileage (167k km) is within expected range for an 8-year-old at typical Irish usage; pricing stable year-on-year, suggesting fair market value with no shortage of stock.
DPF regeneration failures and EGR carbon build-up are common on higher-mileage examples — budget €800–€1,200 for DPF work; rough idle or limp-mode warnings are red flags.
Before buying, request full service history and ask seller if DPF has been cleaned or replaced; run a diagnostic scan to check for stored fault codes (DPF, EGR, electrical).
Check interior lighting (dashboard, map lights, interior trim) and battery condition; electrical gremlins can be costly to diagnose — test all switches and warning lights during viewing.
