How long or how many miles should a turbo and clutch last?
The trucks only been used on road with the occasional lane and no towing.
Thanks

How long is a piece of string?
I have seen clutches last 150k miles and further and turbos last the life of the car.
It all depends on services and driving style.

I have 142k on the Frontera and the car is 18 years on the original turbo and second clutch but the first was still okay but I changed the gearbox so changed the clutch as a precaution.
Also on our now sold 8 year old Picasso HDI that had the original clutch and turbo at I think 147k.

Looks like I need to check the previous service history on the turbo and oil changes.
Since I had it its bad oil and filter change every two-three months but the damage is probably already done.
