Want to buy a Golf estate - what should I look out for?

I want to buy a Volkswagen Golf Estate SE TDI(105) on a 58 plate with 26,000 miles. Are there any issues with it and is its DPF problem?

If it's a 1.9TDI 105 then that is VW most reliable diesel engine, far better than the 1.6TDI and the 2.0 litre TDI and with the huge advantage that it doesn't have a diesel particulate filter.
