AI Market Summary

Seven-seater diesel family hauler with strong towing capacity and practical interior; fuel economy competitive if motorway-driven regularly.
Market pricing up sharply year-on-year; at median €24.6k, aligns fairly with supply scarcity, but negotiate firmly on known diesel issues before committing.
DPF clogging is the critical weak point—especially risky if seller drove mostly short urban trips; EGR and injector deposits also common. Verify service history shows professional DPF regeneration cycles, not ignored warnings.
Request a pre-purchase diagnostic scan focusing on DPF status, EGR fault codes, and fuel system—don't skip this; forced regeneration or removal costs €1,200–€2,500.
Check NCT history and any advisory notes; at 8 years old, two full NCT passes expected. Confirm current tax band (CO2-based) and factor into running costs.

Diesel maintenance is more expensive and complex than petrol; DPF cleaning or replacement can add €800–€2,000 if regeneration fails. Timing chain (not belt) is robust but engine oil quality is critical. Budget for potential injector or turbo work after 120k km.
