AI Market Summary

Petrol engine is fuel-efficient and avoids diesel DPF hassle—solid daily driver choice for mixed Irish roads.
€14,800 median holds firm; good value if mileage genuine, though petrol Sportages less common than diesels on market.
Direct injection carbon build-up risk on petrol engines—check for rough idle, hesitation, or service history gaps; short-trip commuters hit hardest.
Inspect infotainment responsiveness (touch-screen freezing reported); test all buttons and screen before committing, as repairs aren't cheap.
Verify full service history, especially fuel system maintenance; missing records on a petrol engine this age warrant caution.
