AI Market Summary

Excellent fuel savings and low running costs — electric motors require minimal servicing, no oil changes, strong appeal for Irish commuters minimising petrol spend.
Well-priced relative to market; 14.7% annual gain reflects strong EV demand but aligns with actual supply scarcity — fair value for age and mileage.
Touchscreen freezes resolve via software updates; door handles prone to sticking in cold — verify both function before purchase; minor panel gaps common but cosmetic.
Check battery health report (kWh retained vs. original capacity) and full service history; request proof of any software updates or door handle repairs already completed.
