AI Market Summary

Solid practical family SUV: spacious interior, good boot room, and respectable diesel economy for highway driving typical of Irish motorways.
Mileage sits comfortably within expected range for a 10-year-old; inspect service history closely—gaps or missed intervals raise DPF and injector wear risk significantly.
DPF clogging is the critical weak point on pre-2020 diesels; if previous owner did mostly short trips, forced regeneration failures and blocked filters are likely. Budget €800–€1,500+ for injector faults if rough idle or limp-mode appears.
Before purchase, request full diagnostic scan (€80–€150) to check for stored or pending DPF/injector fault codes; listen for rough running at idle and verify uninterrupted service records.
Pricing is stable and fair for the market; no bargain, but no premium either—at €9,000 you're buying a working workhorse, not a steal.
