AI Market Summary

Excellent fuel economy and low tax; nippy, reliable engine. Popular city car with strong Irish residual values and quick sell-through.
Median mileage (49k km) sits well below Irish average for age — verify service history and actual usage pattern to confirm legitimacy.
8-inch infotainment touchscreen prone to freezing or lag on this generation; test all functions (navigation, climate, phone pairing) before purchase.
Direct-injection engine may accumulate carbon residue above 60k km — request full service history and consider professional engine carbon clean if due.
If DSG automatic fitted, take extended test drive in stop-start traffic; listen for jerky engagement or shudder at low speeds, especially in city conditions.
