AI Market Summary

Direct-injection petrol engines suffer carbon buildup from 60k+ km—expect rough idle, hesitation; professional carbon clean required eventually.
Solid value at median price; 11% annual gain suggests market confidence, though inspect electrics carefully given known dashboard gremlins.
Check infotainment system responsiveness and test DSG gearbox (if fitted) for shuddering during slow parking; electrical niggles common on this generation.
NI import saves €4,587 before VRT applies on top—factor full registration costs and NCT readiness into final sum.
