41,000km is about 20,000 miles, in 4 years is about 5000 a year.
I would expect an engine to use a little oil as it beds in and a diesel takes quite some miles to bed in as it's lazy power, torque not revs.
I have no experiance of the vea engines but with those miles would not be too worried about the oil consumption at this point, would however check regularly to ensure it doesnot run low and carry a litre of oil to top up when needed.
