AI Market Summary

Strong real-world range and low running costs; practical five-seat family EV at competitive price for Irish market.
Well-positioned value—median €15.7k sits fair mid-range; avoid outliers above €19k unless very low mileage or recent battery replacement certification.
Battery degradation (10–15% capacity loss in 2–3 years) and 12V auxiliary failures are known weak spots; confirm battery health report and aux battery service history before committing.
Request independent EV diagnostic report focusing on battery State of Health (SoH) percentage and 12V system; check charger port for corrosion or loose connections in person.
NI import saves €1,752 before VRT—calculate total landed cost with VRT, NOx levy, and registration fees; verify seller provides full charging history and any warranty documentation.
