how many km's has it done?

the tappets are shim type and rarely ever need adjusting.
more likely its injector rattle. when was the last fuel filter change? put a bit of fuel conditioner in and see how it goes.

one way to check if its injector rattle is to find a nice hill and coast down it (if its a short hill put foot on brakes just enough to get brake lights on).
fuel cut should kick in and injectors will not be firing, therefore any rattle you now hear is mechanical.

i have a 2010. it sounds like loud tappet noise in mine as well. if i coast down a hill it goes away, and if i plant it, it goes away as well. it pisses me off.
