Check the glow plugs with an ohm meter to seee if they are good, if more than one is bad, the compression is low, the crank speed low and it is cold, it is not amazing that it is not starting.
Check the power to the glow plugs with a volt meter
When you start it with ether get it warm and pull the valve cover vent, if it smokes like a train then you have serious blowby.
Injectors last only about 100K, bad ones will weep or open late.
Any decent garage can amp test your starter and battery while cranking, could be either one or just a bad ground.
