2012 Q5 2.0 TDI - Yay or no
Discussion
Looking at a new car and have come across an MY12 (Sept 2011 build date) Q5 2.0 TDI. 85k miles, has a fully stamped log book and seems to be in decent nick.
Is it something worth taking a proper look at, or run screaming from the room? What would be the things to look out for and check have been addressed?

Father in law had one, fairly nice thing to drive and very practical.
Day of purchasing on the way home the clutch failed at 60000 miles but the garage sorted it all.
No real issues to speak of but it did blow out an injector at 130000 miles just before selling, would have been a head off job to rectify properly but was cobbled together to part ex.
Usual things apply, good servicing and timing belt replaced.
His was 140 Bhp and a little bit gutless tbh but I would have purchased it from him had it not had the injector issue.
