Is this Fiat 500 diesel a good buy?

I have seen a Fiat 500 1.3 Lounge Diesel on an 09 plate for £6k. It looks to be in good condition and from a dealer but I'm not sure is 60,000 miles is OK for a four year old diesel car?

They have had problems with their diesel particulate filters. But if this one has got to 60k miles it's probably okay. Chain cam engine, so no belt to change, but does like clean oil.
