AI Market Summary

Excellent fuel economy and low tax for petrol class; roomy cabin for daily commuting. Strong reliability foundation overall, but watch direct-injection carbon build-up.
Priced fairly at median €12,495. Stock is deep (151 active), so no scarcity premium—good buyer's market right now.
Carbon buildup on DI petrol engines common post–80,000 km: rough idle, sluggish throttle response. Check idle quality during test drive at cold start.
If 1.2 TSI: brief timing chain rattle on very cold morning start is normal and usually settles with premium synthetic oil—not a red flag. DSG models (if auto): test gentle low-speed manoeuvres for judder or hesitation; can indicate wear.
Mileage anomaly: median 68 km sits well *below* expected 120–220 km range for a 10-year-old Irish car. Verify service history and odometer integrity before committing; gaps in records warrant caution.

Important caveats

NI import estimates assume the car is NI-registered (not GB-origin). GB-origin cars add customs duty (6.5%) + import VAT (23%), potentially €3,000–€6,000 more.
Revenue may assess a different OMSP than the ROI median shown above.
NOx levy for diesel can vary from €600 to €3,500+ depending on the vehicle's individual emissions figure.
Cars 4+ years old require an NCT before ROI registration.
Always verify the V5C registration history and get a quote from Revenue.ie before purchasing.
