AI Market Summary

Diesel efficiency and lower motor tax still appeal — strong pick for high-mileage commuters despite rising petrol car popularity.
Median mileage (58k km) sits comfortably within Irish usage norms; price recovery of +23% year-on-year suggests solid market confidence, though entry point (€29,995) offers genuine value.
DPF and AdBlue faults plague this generation on short-trip drivers — insist on full service history and ask dealer if car spent time doing urban runs; NOx sensor errors trigger expensive repairs.
Before purchase, request printout of all fault codes scanned by the dealer; any DPF or AdBlue warnings should drop your offer sharply or walk away.
