AI Market Summary

Spacious seven-seater family MPV with strong towing capacity and practical interior — genuinely useful for larger families or active lifestyles.
Pricing has jumped sharply year-on-year; check comparable petrol S-Max or used Renault Grand Scenic for value. Diesel fuel costs offset mpg gains on Irish commutes.
DPF clogging and EGR carbon buildup are common around current mileage (115k km). Budget €800–€1,200 for DPF work if warning lights appear; verify recent forced regeneration history.
Before purchase, request full service history proving regular oil changes and DPF maintenance — poor-quality fuel or neglected servicing accelerates injector and filter problems.
Fuel injector stiction worsens with inferior diesel; insist on pre-purchase diagnostic scan covering all three cylinders' injection systems for fault codes.
