2006/VW Jetta 1.9 TDI SE DSG (105K): Maybe okay if cheap
2005/Ford Mondeo ST TDCI (145K): Maybe okay if very, very cheap.
2005/VW Passat 2.0 TDI SE (80K): Don't touch it
2004/ Volvo S40 1.6D (110K): Prone to DMF problems and DPF problems if it has one
2006/ Toyota Avensis d4d T3 (100K): Belt or chain. The engine went chain mid 2006.
2004/ VW Passat TDI 130 Sport (110K): Better than the newer model, but this is very leggy
