Anything with D-CAT/180bhp/2AD-FHV will have a DPF/DPNR.

Btw 2006-2012 would be a Mk3 not 2.

You will no doubt come across things on the internet regarding problems (esp. head/head gasket) with the AD series engines.

a) these affected a relatively small % (under 5%, probably well under)

b) these supposedly were resolved in production for the RAV4 (other model dates vary slightly) by the end of 2008. N.B. that is production date not registration date

c) the 150bhp 2AD-FTV versions of the 2.2 anecdotally suffered less from the above

d) my own personal feelings from nearly 10 years of driving 2AD-FTVs (albeit in an Avensis - 1 with DPF, 1 without) is that probably many of the issues were due to or exacerbated by people driving them in cycles that weren't suited to modern common-rail turbo-diesels causing carbon to build up.

As with any car of that age condition & service history will trump mileage. I would also check suspension etc. for any corrosion etc. I am sure that RAV4-specific forums can give you a list of common failure points.
