Modern diesels are horrendously complicated and that means less reliable and more expensive to fix than older ones. The dual mass flywheel is enough of reason to avoid diesel, but I have read that some petrol cars have them now -gawd knows why

Modern petrol engines will easily cover 200,000 miles with no drama anyway if they have regular oil changes.
