AI Market Summary

Solid, fun-to-drive diesel hatchback with strong torque and genuinely practical interior — typically punches above its weight for everyday use.
At €10,500 median, fairly valued for age and mileage; no standout bargain, but not overpriced against comparable Focus or Golf diesels from same era.
DPF clogging is the critical risk on this engine, especially if previous owner did mostly short urban trips — expect forced regeneration costs or full filter replacement (€800–1,200).
Before buying, request service history and ask seller directly: "Has the DPF ever been cleaned or replaced?" Confirm it has not been deleted illegally (common workaround, voids NCT and warranty).
Manual gearbox versions are safer bet than DSG automatic; if DSG, test low-speed manoeuvres carefully for judder or hesitation — gearbox repairs are expensive.

Important caveats

NI import estimates assume the car is NI-registered (not GB-origin). GB-origin cars add customs duty (6.5%) + import VAT (23%), potentially €3,000–€6,000 more.
Revenue may assess a different OMSP than the ROI median shown above.
NOx levy for diesel can vary from €600 to €3,500+ depending on the vehicle's individual emissions figure.
Cars 4+ years old require an NCT before ROI registration.
Always verify the V5C registration history and get a quote from Revenue.ie before purchasing.
