Buying a used Volkswagen Touran - are they any good?

My son who has a small family is keen to buy a second hand Volkswagen Touran. He has up to £5000 to spend and it seems that for this the car will have about 100,000 miles on the clock. Is this a reasonable buy? I understand the 1.9 TDI is the best bet. What should he be wary of?

The 1.9TDI is the safest engine. More here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/volkswagen/touran-20...d
