"Covered 149,000 miles.... The vehicle benefits from having a replacement engine at 75,000 miles"

On the basis of past performance, then, it will need a new engine in about 1000 miles....
 
someone should be able to shed some light on this....
 
D4D engines are prone to head gasket failure. My Lexus IS220d had a new engine at 72k miles. Toyota have an unofficial 112k mile or 7 year warranty on the D4D engines as a result. Apparently the engine design makes skimming the head impossible (although some people say they've managed it) and so a new engine is needed at a cost of £4-6k including labour... There are people out there with 2-3 new engines in under 100k miles! I'd not buy another D4D personally.
 
Handy if you loose your dog...
