Honestly like cmohr said there are things to check, and 500km a tank for the 2.5L CRD seems low to me. Unless you can see a good service history I would avoid it. They are great vehicles when well maintained but if neglected problems will occur. I would want a cooling system and intercooler pressure test, to see if the head gasket is ok a d its still capable of full boost. Check to see if it has had silicon intercooler hoses installed, the stock hoses fail due to oil degrading them internally. There are so many things to check on a vehicle, with an unknown history that is 12 years old, but 180000 kms is not too bad for its age, they can easily double that before a rebuild.
