Buying a nearly new Audi A6 - are the diesels reliable?

I am considering a nearly new Audi A6 Ultra 2.0 TDI. I believe these have new engines.How do they stand with the usual ideals with DPFs and 3 year+ old diesel problems?

Basically this is a runout model selling at big discounts prior to the launch of the next A6. Doesn't have a new engine. Still VAG's belt cam 2.0TDI.

Compare the running costs of petrol, diesel and electric cars to make the right choice for you.

Petrol or diesel ... or even electric?
