AI Market Summary

Proven diesel efficiency and low running costs — typical 50+ mpg and modest motor tax appeal to Irish budget-conscious buyers.
Fairly priced at median; supply is steady (7 listings), so no urgency to overpay — take time to compare condition and service history.
DPF clogging is the main risk on this generation, especially if previous owner did mostly short urban runs; EGR and injector scaling also reported — demand full service records.
Before buying, request a pre-purchase diagnostic scan focused on DPF status and emissions; a clogged filter can cost €800–€1,200 to replace or clean.
At 7 years and median 124k km, mileage sits mid-range for Irish usage — verify NCT history and that last two tests passed without emissions flags.

Diesel engines are robust but require disciplined servicing intervals and regular motorway driving to prevent DPF clogging; budget extra for potential injector or EGR cleaning on higher-mileage cars.
