Newbie from Scotland

It’s an Auto and 2.0 bi turbo diesel.

They are an impressive engine from many points (power output, torque, NVH) but have one weakness.
Make sure you keep up with the oil changes and specified oil religiously. The wet cam / oil pump belt design in those engines has known to be an issue with the rubber disintegrating and blocking the oil intake for people who don't. I must admit that I would have preferred they had stayed with the chain drive from the 2.2 and 3.2.

Yeah, I want it to last and be able to enjoy it so definitely going to be getting regular upkeep and pampering and dinitrol underseal so it doesn’t disintegrate.

Yes underseal fortunately isn't such a big deal over here in our climate unless you are a regular beach driver, in which case it's highly recommended.
