I owned in the last two decades only four naturally aspirated engines of some 20+ cars. None had turbo failure. Of those 4 NA engines, I own two now.
I made 485k km with BMW 525d E61 with M57 diesel engine. My brother and I own business in Europe and all our delivery vehicles were turbo, mostly 1.4 to 2.0ltr with exception of several VW’s and MB’s with 5 and 6cyl turbo engines. Only one had turbo failure, Skoda Octavia 1.9tdi but it was known issue on that batch of engines.
My brother now drives locally MB E220 cdi (2006) with some 400k km. Still can do 210km/h .
