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.
