AI Market Summary

Solid, efficient diesel engine and well-balanced chassis — good value for money in compact segment at €7,500 median.
Mileage at 179k km is realistic for a 10-year-old, but DPF regeneration issues are common on stop-start urban driving; verify service history closely.
Fuel injector wear kicks in around 80,000 km; higher-mileage examples may show rough idle or misfiring — have a pre-purchase diagnostic done.
Before buying, request full service records proving regular DPF regens and oil changes; a neglected DPF can cost €800–€1,500 to replace.
Check EGR valve condition during inspection — carbon build-up causes rough running and failed emissions tests; factor in potential cleaning cost.
