AI Market Summary

Efficient PHEV: excellent fuel economy and low CO2 emissions if you use electric for daily commute; strong tax incentive.
Fair pricing for the segment; median €20,973 sits mid-range, reflecting 5-year-old PHEV status and modest supply of just 3 listings.
DSG gearbox judder in urban stop-start traffic is the main concern — test extensively at low speeds before committing.
Check infotainment responsiveness during viewing; frozen screens are frustrating but typically software-fixable. Verify sunroof seals and operation at motorway speeds.
Battery health unknown from listing alone — obtain service history proof that high-voltage battery has been inspected within last 12 months.
