Mk3 Mondeo buying advice needed

I'm looking at Ford Mondeo Estate 2.0 diesel circa 02-06. Which model would you recommend? And what mileage? (I was thinking 70-90,000) I want to pay £2500. Do they have DPF? Chain belt?

Mk III Mondeo 2.0TDCIs are chain cam and do not have diesel particulate filters. But it's going to be tough to find one with a genuine 70-90,000. Problem areas here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/ford/mondeo-iii-2000...d
