Alternator went on my 1.5TD at about 135k, fairly bullet proof except I ran mine low on oil and knackered the big end bearing other than that good engines the Isuzu's

I regret selling my td, seem to be pretty rare considering how reliable they are.

Rust is the only major problem.
Engines are pretty solid.
My 1.5 has done 200k miles, near enough trouble free, bar the alternator.

Just service them regularly and they will be fine
