Diesel engines are expensive to repair, but the mileage they can drive without repairs is much greater than the life of a gasoline engine, with proper maintenance. Exceptions are engines with DEF (Adblue) all new engines are already with this system, i hate it. In the diesel you may have a problem with the soot filter, if the car is driving on the highway you will not have problems, it is cleaned on the go, for the city diesel is good when it is new or 4-5 yrs old..
