My previous experience was with an 82 Datsun diesel pick up. I never needed to do anything but change the oil and filters in it and once the glow plugs when I owned it. I owned it for 5 years and then sold it to my dad who still owns it 15 years later. He never needed to do anything to it either except that now it needs a new clutch.
I liked how relatively bullet proof it was. The 616/617 diesels remind me of the same reliability.
