Is the Suzuki Grand Vitara a good buy?

Hi, can you please let me know if the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0 petrol from 2006/2007 would be a good buy? Wwhat are the most common faults if any? I previously had a diesel SUV, but I had to have the injectors etc replaced, which cost about €2,000. I have about €6,000 budget and a very small fixed income.

Thank you
