AI Market Summary

Diesel Ceed holds value well and prices stable; median €11,975 sits fair for age and mileage—no obvious over/undervaluation versus comparable rivals.
DPF clogging is the critical risk on this engine, especially if previous owner did mostly short trips; budget €800–€1,500 for cleaning or replacement if needed.
Injector carbon buildup can cause rough idle and hesitation, particularly with poor-quality fuel; check for smooth cold starts and smooth low-speed driveability before committing.
Before buying, request full service history and ask seller about typical journey lengths—short commutes dramatically increase DPF regeneration failure risk on this 1.6 CRDi.
Median mileage (181k km) sits above Irish average for age; verify odometer consistency across service stamps, as data reliability is critical on used diesels.
