Sorry to burst your bubble with facts but diesel engines have extraordinary durability. Diesels in semi trucks can go 1.5 million miles. Diesels in container ships can run for 20 years and that is mostly running 24/7. Gas engines in cars can go 400 thousand miles. At that point the car may very well be recycled since it is essentially used up. Google is your friend.
