AI Market Summary

Practical family hauler with excellent space, seven seats, and flexible seating — ideal for Irish families needing genuine versatility over four-seater rivals.
Fairly valued at median price; strong year-on-year demand (+25%) suggests buyers see fair-market pricing, though mileage near upper range warrants negotiation on older examples.
DPF clogging is the critical weak point on this engine — frequent short urban trips increase risk. Injector sticking and EGR carbon faults also common; check service history for DPF regeneration records and any fault codes before committing.
Request a full diagnostic scan (€60–€100 at specialist) focusing on stored and pending DPF, EGR, and fuel system codes; a clean report is non-negotiable given known issues.
Verify NCT pass date and any advisories logged — a recent fail on emissions or exhaust systems is a red flag for this generation.

Important caveats

NI import estimates assume the car is NI-registered (not GB-origin). GB-origin cars add customs duty (6.5%) + import VAT (23%), potentially €3,000–€6,000 more.
Revenue may assess a different OMSP than the ROI median shown above.
NOx levy for diesel can vary from €600 to €3,500+ depending on the vehicle's individual emissions figure.
Cars 4+ years old require an NCT before ROI registration.
Always verify the V5C registration history and get a quote from Revenue.ie before purchasing.
