AI Market Summary

Spacious seven-seater with strong safety credentials and premium Scandinavian interior; excellent towing capacity for family holidays.
Fairly priced for the segment — mid-to-upper market positioning reflects age and mileage, though watch for overstated condition claims.
DPF regeneration problems endemic on this generation, especially urban-driven cars; demand full service history and recent DPF cleaning evidence.
Inspect turbocharger response (slight lag signals bearing wear); request ECU diagnostics to confirm injector carbon and emissions system health.
Budget €800–€1,500 for preventative DPF or injector cleaning within first year of ownership — common post-purchase cost.
