AI Market Summary

Excellent value proposition — well-balanced family car holding steady prices despite modest year-on-year decline; strong demand in Irish market.
1.0 TSI engines prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, especially with frequent short trips; inspect for rough idle and power loss at viewing.
Early turbocharger bearing wear reported on 2016–2018 1.0 TSI units — listen for blue smoke or rattling on cold start; full service history essential.
DSG automatic gearbox (if fitted) may judder at low speeds or creep hesitantly in traffic; test drive in stop-start conditions before committing.
Request full service records and confirm last major carbon clean or intake valve inspection; prioritise petrol engines with documented highway mileage over city-driven examples.
