Driving the car much less than expected, maybe looking at 6000 miles a year, weekends only 40 mins round trips.

Maintenance wise, what are the things to watch for when driving a diesel shorter distances. Some say you should drive it aggressively every now again to help with ??

Not trying to be snarky, but the things that I would be looking for is how many gas stations you are going past, and how long a period of time before having to stop to refuel.Enjoy your ride!

I do about 6K / year in each of my cars and the thing to watch out for the most is the dealers trying to get you to do service before you really need it...
