AI Market Summary

Solid, reliable workhorse — Golf's bread-and-butter appeal holds strong; petrol engine straightforward, no major structural weaknesses.
Median mileage sits 23k km *below* Irish average for age — suggests either genuine low-use examples or mileage record gaps; verify odometer history carefully.
Carbon buildup on direct-injection valves common post-80k km; rough idle and fuel economy drop typical. Timing chain tensioner rattle on cold starts (1.4 TSI) can signal chain stretch — listen closely before test drive.
Inspect fuel consumption at steady motorway speed (60–90 km/h) — dramatic drop hints carbon fouling; request recent service history for injector cleaning.
NI import saves €4,628 before VRT; full Irish road tax cost depends on CO2 band — factor that back in when comparing pricing.
