Hi everyone just bought an august 2018 gxl, I was wondering if there was anything I need to look out for mechanically with the engine? I couldn’t find much online. The cars got full service history and has 45,000km on it.

cheers!

As its around the first one with the 2.8, make sure that its had the oil changed, there was an issue with too lightweight an oil in them causing some problems. Thats about it.

DPF now apparently covered by a 10 year warranty from new so nothing to worry about there.

I'm pretty sure that the 2.8 litre diesel was introduced in the 2015 model. By 2018 any teething problems had been resolved, the revised DPF had been introduced and the maximum ATM had been increased to 3000kg. 2018 model: a win/win!
