AI Market Summary

Excellent fuel economy and low tax make diesel Ibiza appealing for high-mileage Irish drivers; strong city-car practicality.
Priced fairly at median given 8-year age and 161k km mileage; +29% year-on-year reflects wider market demand, not undervaluation.
DPF blockages common on urban-driven examples; check service history for forced regenerations. Turbocharger wear and EGR carbon build-up likely above 100k km.
Request full service history proving DPF maintenance and regeneration cycles; have mechanic inspect turbo for rattling or boost loss before purchase.
