AI Market Summary

Fabia diesel is frugal and reliable over the long term if serviced properly; strong resale value in Ireland keeps depreciation steady.
Pricing at €7,700 median is fair for mileage and age — no bargain, but competitive against similarly-aged rivals like Polo or Ibiza diesel.
DPF clogging is the real risk on this generation, especially if previous owner used short trips; budget €400–€800 for professional cleaning or replacement.
Before buying, request full service history and ask seller about driving patterns — motorway miles suggest healthier DPF; check for EGR carbon buildup (rough idle or starting lag).
Fuel injector deposits common around 80k–120k km: listen for cold-start hesitation or rough running; a carbon clean (€150–€300) may be needed soon.
