Given that vehicles of a similar age may also have covered a similar mileage regardless of being diesel or petrol.

I guess the results maybe incorrect if there are more diesels than V8's around.
However there are a hell of a lot of threads on diesel problems.
If you looked at the outerlimits forum, you might surmise that the Jeeps are the most reliable because there are fewer post. More likely, these owners have there own Web forums, or just don't drive them off road.
If you look at a forum like AULRO in the tech section, you'll only see problems people are having. Lets face it, who posts " Two weeks and nothing has fallen off". Do V8's have less than TD5's ? Maybe owners of V8's are more into Horses(four legged type) so don't frequent AULRO as much. Who knows.
Or maybe TD5 owners have more time to sit at a Pooter.
