Diesel engines go on forever

If its an R56 then its BMW Engine in there

Depends to a great extent how it was driven to get to the 89000, foot to the floor everywhere then its probably worn out, driven normally then its probably of no significance?
Also does it have a full service record as to when and what has been done?

It's the Toyota engine in the r50 and a Peugeot engine in the early r56 models, went to a BMW diesel later on. All good engines.
