AI Market Summary

**Practicality is the draw** — seven-seat layout, spacious interior, and decent boot make family hauling straightforward. Diesel economy suits longer commutes well.
**Fair market value** — €6,550 median sits appropriately for a 10-year-old diesel MPV with 182k km. No overpricing relative to segment competitors.
**DPF regeneration is the key concern** — diesel particulate filter clogging common, especially if previous owners did mostly short trips. Budget for potential cleaning or replacement before long motorway use.
**Check EGR valve operation before purchase** — rough idle or limp-mode fault codes suggest costly work ahead. Request full diagnostic report or road-test thoroughly for hesitation and warning lights.
**Electrical faults are widespread on this generation** — central locking, window regulators, and dashboard warning lights frequently fail. Inspect all electrics during viewing; factor in repairs if issues present.
