Buying a Grand Cherokee diesel - can you help?

I am considering purchasing a 2006 / 06 Plate Grand Cherokee diesel auto with 66 thousand miles through a dealer asking £7995. This appears to be a good price .

I am aware that the V6 is a Mercedes engine. Is there any known problems with this model and anything particular to look out for.
