Alot of gassers need their timing belts changed too. My isuzu diesel chevette made it to 150K running strong. The car just fell apart. The MB was well passed 300K. Getting tired, but still ran and it was neglected.

Most little diesels are good for about 200K with proper maintenance. Also the operator needs to know how to care for them. The turbos need a cool down period after driving.

The jap 4cyl diesel require more preventative maintenance. So do the VW diesels.
