AI Market Summary

Solid everyday hatch — decent fuel economy, responsive handling, and strong residual value hold over three years.
Fairly priced for current market; prices up 9% year-on-year, so supply is tight but not overheated. Comparable rivals (Focus, Astra) track similarly.
Direct injection carbon buildup on intake valves is the main gotcha — inspect for rough idle or hesitation, especially if future high mileage is planned. DSG gearbox (if fitted) can judder; check smoothness on low-speed and motorway drives.
Before buying, request full service history and run a pre-purchase diagnostic scan to flag any DSG fault codes or engine knock sensors. Listen for inlet valve rattle on cold start.
NI imports save ~€435 before VRT, which will wipe out the discount once applied — worth comparing total landed cost against ROI stock.
