Assuming the engine is basically good (no defects, etc...) a diesel engine will last for as long as you want it to. It all depends on how good you are to it. As long as you maintain a high standard of fuel and stay up on maintenance/filterchanges (fuel AND oil) you can keep it running until judgement day. I just spent 7 months in the Sudan and saw some, admittedly japanese, diesel engines there that haven't seen clean fuel or original parts in about 30 years. They don't run clean, but they start every time and keep going.
