AI Market Summary

Workhorse van with strong payload and load-space versatility; popular choice for trades and small deliveries across Ireland.
Median mileage of 170k km is notably high for a 5-year-old — well above Irish average usage. Verify full service history and fuel-quality maintenance before committing.
DPF clogging (€800–€1,500 repair) is the critical risk on this engine, especially if previous owner did frequent short urban runs; confirm regeneration cycles are completing and check fault codes.
Before purchase, run full OBD diagnostic scan to catch EGR carbon build-up and injector hesitation — both show up as fault codes and indicate servicing gaps.
Pricing sits mid-range for the cohort; not a bargain, but fair value if service history is solid and DPF/fuel system are clean.
