AI Market Summary

Timing chain rattle common on early 2018 1.5L petrol units—usually tolerates well but verify cold-start noise before purchase.
Sensus infotainment freezes and lags frequently; ask seller if updates applied and test all functions (nav, Bluetooth, climate controls).
Window regulators and electrical gremlins appear across this generation—budget €200–400 for likely regulator replacement within next 12 months.
Mileage sits 20k km below typical Irish usage for 8-year-old car; request full service history to verify recorder accuracy or storage periods.
Fair pricing at median; NI imports save €343 before VRT applies on top—verify actual import paperwork and any outstanding recalls before proceeding.
