AI Market Summary

Excellent fuel economy and refined diesel engine — real-world 4.5–5.5 L/100 km on mixed driving, strong Irish fleet favourite.
Mileage at median (162k km) is typical for an 8-year-old; good value relative to competitors, but +17% annual price rise suggests strong demand — don't overpay for condition.
DPF regeneration faults common on this generation; inspect for warning lights, limp mode history, or recent DPF clean receipts before purchase — budget €800–€1,500 if replacement needed soon.
Check EGR valve carbon buildup symptoms: rough idle at cold start, flat throttle response, or stored fault codes — straightforward inspection via OBD scanner at any diagnostics centre.
NI import saves €2,160 before VRT; after VRT and registration costs, real saving typically €800–€1,200 — only worthwhile if buying sight-unseen with full pre-import inspection.
