AI Market Summary

**Strong daily-driver fundamentals:** excellent fuel economy, refined cabin, good handling—reliable commuter if maintained properly and regularly driven on longer trips.
**Fair pricing for the segment:** €13,775 median sits mid-market; stock is modest (12 active), so negotiate on condition rather than expecting major discounts.
**Diesel engines prone to urban wear:** DPF clogging and common-rail injector faults are prevalent on this generation, especially if previous owner did short trips or low annual mileage. EGR carbon buildup also common.
**Before purchase, request full service history and run a pre-buy diagnostic on the diesel system**—confirm DPF regeneration cycles completed and no injector warning lights. This is non-negotiable.
**NI import saves €387 before VRT applies on top**—factor in full registration cost when comparing to Republic stock.
