Replace it.

Any helmet, regardless of price, should have a certification from some sort of regulatory body. In the U.S. it will be a CPSC certification; since you mention Euros I assume there's an equivalent certification in whatever jurisdiction you're in.

The higher prices don't mean they're better from a safety certification standpoint, but usually mean that they're lighter/more aero/more stylish.

I express no opinion on MIPS helmets which is a safety feature that is a separate issue than official government certifications.
