These new hi tech diesels have no hope of doing 500,000 trouble free kays like the old 4.2 Nissans or Toyotas and other low stressed mechanical diesels.

These new ones have the potential to send you bankrupt.
The thing is if you don’t use good fuel, and change fuel filters regularly you are going to have failures, one reason why earth moving machinery use multiple fuel filters that are changed like clockwork. Other issues would be mechanics who incorrectly diagnose faults.
Dirt and water is the death of any diesel injection system.

As for the DPF just ditch the thing over ya shoulder.
