The Focus isn't more powerful, 2bhp less lol...but then it does only have half your engine size. 
I've already seen DV6s on 250k+ lol, modern cars can be just as reliable if they're looked after, even the ones people tell you are unreliable. However it'll never see 30 years old, its just a midrange family hatch...will get scrapped at around 10-15 years old due to being uneconomically viable to fix as parts and labour are so expensive these days. Money no problem you could keep a modern car going just as long imo...
But back on topic, I honestly didn't realise diesels were so bad on fuel back then, why did anyone bother buying them!? Been cheaper to run a petrol surely.
