Diesel engine question

    Looking for a bit of advice on what would be considered high mileage on a diesel engine.
    Specifically looking at the 2.5 l in the older Land Rover Discoveries. I can see that there are say, 2003-2005 models with 80/90K on the clock. Is this a lot for a diesel? Assuming as well that many of these have been used on school runs and the like :)

    i wouldnt consider it high milage until it went over 150k on a diesel providing its well maintained not sure on landrovers but oil would really want to be changed every 10-15k depending on the model in a landrover millage up to 200k wouldnt bother me its what diesels are made for
