Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. 

One key thing to think is do you want one with 5,6 or 7 seats. 

Tech packs are very useful

Check the mmi on the vehicle. As higher the better. 

Check service history. Mainly for proof of gearbox oil services and if it's had any work done the air suspension as that's the biggest problem with them.  

2011 was the year that the car got an 8 speed gear box instead of the 6 speed in 2010 and earlier. I think there was a slight facelift too and a slight engine refinement but the main difference is the gearbox which makes it better on fuel and nicer to drive on the motorway. It might of got the start stop too. Early 2011 cars (60 plate) and some early 11 plate cars probably won’t have the revisions. Get one with the 8 speed box it’s a lot nicer to drive
