Default Slight rattle from 2011 V50 1600 diesel.

Evening all.

Hope you can help.

Been car hunting and found a 2011 V50 1600cc turbo diesel. 118k miles. No idea of engine code.

BUT there is one issue that i cant put my finger on.
Drives fine and a surprising amount of power for its size, weight and cc etc....
When i test drove the car i heard an underlying rattle from the engine.
Just at the point where i come off the gas pedal and onto the clutch when changing gear.
Also happens when i give it a rev when stationary. Blip the throttle. Just as i take my foot off. At peak and just as the revs start to decrease.
I ran a mile last week when i heard it but still got the car stuck in my head.

Keep running or could it be something that is common and easily repaired?

Thanks in advance.

Ruch
