AI Market Summary

**Strong petrol efficiency and handling** — Civic delivers reliable fuel economy and engaging drive; good resale trajectory (+4.7% YoY) confirms buyer confidence.
**Well-priced near median** — €20k sits fair for age and mileage; competitive against equivalent rivals, no significant over/undervaluation signal.
**Direct injection carbon buildup is real risk after 60k km** — watch for rough idle, poor cold start, or fuel economy drop. Request full service history and ask if intake cleaning has been done. Engine knock sensor failures also reported; confirm smooth acceleration from standstill.
**Before purchase, have a pre-sale diagnostic run** — CVT hesitation and carbon deposits are easiest to spot with a mechanic's road test; walnut blasting cure costs €400–800.
**NI import saves €2,242 before VRT** — VRT, NOx levy, and registration fees will recoup most of that saving; factor full cost before buying across border.
