AI Market Summary

Diesel Ibiza holds value well — up 29% year-on-year — and suits Irish motorists doing steady mileage; strong residual demand at 29 days to sell.
DPF blockages are the main cost trap on this engine, especially if previous owner did mostly short urban trips; budget €800–€1,500 for forced regen or replacement.
EGR carbon fouling and turbo bearing wear emerge above 100k km; check for rough idle at cold start and any boost lag or rattling under acceleration.
Inspect DPF condition and service history closely — confirm forced regenerations were done regularly, not ignored; ask seller if car was used mainly for longer drives or town commuting.
