Buying a used Passat Estate TDI

I have had two previous Passats and a year ago I changed to a Mazda 6 diesel.

Sadly, I have not been impressed with this car and am considering changing back to a 2 or 3 year old Passat.

However, I am picking up via the Saturday Telegraph a trend of reliability problems for this model. Can you please let me know whether these problems are across the range, or limited to any particular age or model Passat.
