AI Market Summary

1.2 TSI carbon buildup is the main threat — expect rough idle and hesitation from 80k–120k km; walnut-shell cleaning (€400–800) usually fixes it.
Mechatronic DSG unit can shudder at low speed on early 2018s; Skoda firmware updates often resolve it, so check service history thoroughly.
Median mileage sits below Irish average for this age — verify mileage records and NCT history to confirm reliability claims before committing.
Water ingress into A-pillars and door seals causes electrical faults in damp climates; inspect door seals, check for moisture inside trim, and test all electrics.
NI import saves €802 before VRT — add Vehicle Registration Tax, NOx levy, and registration fees on top of any NI price quote before comparing.
