Starting in model year 2009, they changed from CDI to Bluetec. That means dealing with adding the AddBlue every 10K or so. That is a relatively minor and inexpensive annoyance, however, they put the AddBlue tank where the spare tire used to be, so that means dealing with the $$$ run-flat tires and wheels.

Not sure, but I think maybe in the more recent model years they might have relocated the AddBlue tank and gone back to conventional tires.

Also, the earlier model years seem to be prone to oil cooler and turbocharger oil leaks which are $$$$ to fix, so either make sure those have been fixed, or get a good aftermarket warranty.
