AI Market Summary

Brand-new stock with full warranty coverage; Picanto's nimble size and low CO2 make it ideal for Dublin congestion and modest motor tax.
Pricing up 13.5% year-on-year — demand strong but watch for dealer margin. Compare against used 2024–2025 stock for better value if budget-conscious.
Timing chain rattle on cold starts documented in some units (design flaw, not widespread); door seals and airbag connectors prone to early corrosion issues after 2–3 years.
Before purchase, request full dealer inspection report; specifically ask if any timing chain, window seal, or airbag diagnostics flagged during pre-delivery checks.
