AI Market Summary

Proven compact SUV with strong Irish demand — consistent 13% year-on-year price growth shows stable market confidence and good resale potential.
Diesel engine efficient on motorway use but vulnerable to DPF clogging if driven mainly in city stop-start traffic; budget €800–1,200 for forced regen or replacement if needed.
Manual clutch can wear prematurely — request full service history and inspect clutch feel (creep, bite point) before committing; automatics avoid this risk.
At 157k km median, verify mileage records carefully against service stamps; demand proof of regular oil changes and DPF maintenance from dealer or mechanic.
Check EGR valve condition and carbon buildup at garages familiar with Suzuki diesels; carbon clean (€150–300) may restore efficiency if owner skipped earlier maintenance.
