Engine hours alone are not always a good barometer. Some with high hours, but good maintainance, can be in much better shape than one with low hours and poor maintainance. Also, how the hours were put on is a factor. One run primarily to charge batteries (ie: low rpm, no load) will be more problematic than one used to motor with.
So it's hard to say, just on hours alone, what shape an engine is in. Diesels can be remarkably long lived, if taken care of properly. And short lived if not. If this concerns a boat you are looking at, I would have an engine survey done.
