The diesel engines in the S/V40 are Renault Based and in the S/V40 are very reliable , the later the better though i wouldnt get the old generation one up to 2000
D4192T 1996-1999 Mechancal with electronic timing control indirect injection
D4192T2 1999-2000 Mechanical with Direct Injection electronic timing
D4192T3 (115bhp) and T4 ( 105 bhp ) 2001-2004 Common rail fully electronic
The best ones are the T3 and T4 which can average 55 mpg and go quite well .
