AI Market Summary

**Solid family crossover with decent practicality and reasonable real-world fuel economy for Irish commutes.** VW/Audi-based platform offers proven engineering and parts availability.
**Priced fairly at median €14,700—no bargain, but competitive against equivalent Hyundai Kona or Peugeot 2008 diesel of same year.** Mid-range stock available.
**DPF clogging is the main concern on 1.6 TDI; common if previous owner did short trips or left vehicle static.** EGR valve carbon buildup can cause rough idle; check for service history showing DPF regeneration intervals and EGR maintenance.
**Before buying, request full service history and ask seller directly about any forced DPF regenerations or warning lights—these indicate driving pattern problems.** Run full diagnostic scan to check for stored emissions faults.
**NI imports save €307 before VRT applies on top—savings erode once registration tax added, so only worthwhile if you find exceptional stock there.**
