I have been told by various diesel fundi's that a diesel engine does need to run regularly and for long distances if it needs to operate to its maximum efficiency.

So if I buy a 4.2 litre diesel 4by with 300,000 on the clock and the vehicle is 15 years of age then it should be a good thing. No?

Now if I am looking at a vehicle with a similar engine and similar age with only 160,000 on the clock, should I be wary of possible future engine problems? So instead of 20,000km per year this vehicle has only done about 10,000kms per year.

All answers appreciated
