AI Market Summary

Strong petrol engine efficiency and modest tax band — good daily-driver fuel economy and affordable motor tax for Irish usage patterns.
Median mileage 91k km sits below Irish average for age — verify service history and condition justify lower miles before committing.
Carbon build-up on DI petrol engines common post-60k km: rough idle, sluggish acceleration. Budget for fuel-system cleaning if symptoms appear.
Check all dashboard warning lights (Check Engine, battery) during test drive — electrical gremlins are frequent; confirm faults are genuine, not phantom errors.
NI import saves €605 before VRT applies on top — factor full registration cost (VRT, NOx levy, paperwork) into final price comparison.
