Question to buy or not to buy X5 35d?

Hello, everyone.
I'm thinking about buying a "new" used suv - one of the "candidates" is X5 35d (diesel) model 2007 and up.

What do I have to inspect before purchase? How?
Are these vehicles (already as old as 10-year-old) reliable?
I know that the diesels engines last long time, how about all other components - tranny, chassis, hoses, electricals, how do they stand the "abuse"?
Are there any model years that I have to exclude from my search?
Could the engines (or the whole car) be screwed, if ran without diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)?
I'd appreciate your input in advance.
Thanks.
