Diesel engines can last an average of 500,000 to 1 million miles, provided they’re well-maintained and cared for. Compare this to the average lifespan of a gasoline engine, which typically ranges from 200,000 to 250,000 miles.Almost impossible to say but a well serviced engine should last well past 100 k miles and many more.

Some owners have reported trouble-free motoring for over 115,000 miles, with only minor repairs like replacing the dual mass flywheel (DMF) or glow plugs.
