Lol, you're hard pushed to avoid DMF's these days.... That said, most cars I'm looking at have already had them replaced, they seem to fail around 75-100k on newer engines! Despite the PD Golf's lasted over 135k. 
In fact I'm sure the DMF on the blue Golf would've lasted longer if I wasn't trying to leave a diablo 1.8 behind. 
Hmm, that's gotta be motorway miles on cruise control lol. My Vec had one at 75k!

That rules out 90% of modern diesels.
I guess it's unsurprising from a forum aimed at a car that ceased manufacture 12 years ago, but a modern car with a DMF doesn't instantly mean disaster, just need to check it's history & be prepared at some stage before 150k it will more than likely need one! There's people on Vec-C that have 300k Z19DTH's that are still on the original.
