AI Market Summary

Direct-injection petrol engines prone to carbon build-up between 80k–120k km; rough idle and hesitation are warning signs — budget €400–€800 for walnut blasting if needed.
DSG 7-speed gearbox can judder at low speeds or parking; check service history for transmission fluid changes and request test drive in tight manoeuvres to confirm smoothness.
Solid value at median price; 7-year-old Leon with 114k km sits within expected Irish usage. Demand holding firm (4 active listings, 34-day sell time, +11% year-on-year).
Infotainment (MIB2) system prone to freezing or touchscreen lag; not safety-critical but annoying. Firmware updates sometimes help; if unresponsive, head unit replacement is pricey.
Before purchase, obtain full service records and confirm DSG transmission fluid changes completed; inspect for rough idle on cold start and request diagnostics scan for carbon-related fault codes.
