I work at a b2b diesel vehicle oem and our vehicles routinely do in excess of 130k miles per year. The first owners usually keep them for 3-5 years before selling them. They don't, generally, require rebuilds for the first few owners.

If you're experiencing that sort of issue, it is not specifically because of the emissions devices. It's because of poor design or cheap parts.

Pretty well understood in the community that drives consumer diesel vehicles (Ford, Ram, GM) that the main failure modes are emissions systems (or the CP4 pump) The costs are astronomical as well. $7k for a DPF. What vehicles are you selling that aren't seeing issues?
