AI Market Summary

Octavia diesel is a workhorse: strong fuel economy (4.5–5.2 L/100km real-world), roomy 590L boot, and bulletproof engines if serviced properly. Excellent for Irish commutes.
Median price up 20% year-on-year — market is firm. At €13,625, this gen sits fair value against Mondeo and Passat diesel, though supply is good (28 active).
DPF regeneration faults are the main headache on this year — check for limp-mode history or "DPF cleaning required" warnings. EGR carbon buildup and turbo wear at 80k+ km also reported.
Before buying, request full service history and ask dealer directly: "Has DPF been cleaned or replaced?" One dodgy regen cycle can cost €800–€1,500 to fix.
NI import saves €2,912 before VRT — factor in full VRT, NOx levy, and registration costs (typically €1,500–€2,200 extra) to see real saving.
