Not sure what the draw is for a vehicle with a replacement engine. Are they much cheaper perhaps?
I'd much rather look for an original D4 with a good service record. It's true that some fail, tell me a car where that doesn't happen. But the percentage is small.
Anyway, what would you prefer? An original factory fitted engine, where they do that day in day out, a dealer fitted engine (they will be trained, and might have done a few but mostly will service your car and fit peripheral things that go wrong) or someone else whose fitted an engine?

Fair question, I was just wondering whether having had a replacement engine was perhaps an especially positive sign - renewed all the parts that may have worn out by now. But I think I will be avoiding D4s with replaced engines of any type based on all the advice here...

Thing is nowadays with modern vehicles engines do not really wear out like days of old, there is always some other part that fails making the car unecomical to repair.
I have always said repaired/remanufactured/recon etc, none are as good as it left the factory with.
