AI Market Summary

TCe turbo engines face bearing wear and turbo failure 80k–120k km range — check service history meticulously, get pre-purchase inspection focus on engine noise, compression test.
Direct injection carbon buildup causes rough idle and hesitation — ask about fuel system cleaning history; if none recorded, budget €300–500 for professional cleaning post-purchase.
EDC dual-clutch gearbox prone to judder and grinding on pull-away — test drive thoroughly in slow traffic, feel for shuddering or grinding; if present, major repair looms.
Median mileage sits just inside expected range, pricing stable — reasonable value at market rates, but reliability concerns mean inspection costs are non-negotiable before committing.
Three recalls on file — confirm all completed with dealer records before handover; unresolved recalls can affect NCT pass and future resale.
