AI Market Summary

Premium seven-seater with impressive electric range when new; strong residual value and broad appeal offset higher purchase price.
Mileage consistently runs 20k km above Irish average for this age — verify service history and battery health before committing.
Battery degradation is the critical issue: expect reduced electric range by now, and replacement costs €8,000–12,000. Confirm current EV range with seller.
Check charging port for corrosion and test plug-in function thoroughly; transmission hesitation between electric/petrol modes is common — take extended test drive in city traffic.
