Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI - keep or sell?

In the Saturday Telegraph you responded to a letter on a 2010 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI, with 75,000 miles on the clock. You suggested high costs were approaching on the Cat (and many other parts) and now may be a good time to move it on. We have a Focus 1.6 TDCI (three years old) with 55,000 miles on the clock. Are the costs you mentioned mileage based? If so, should we sell the car now before the costs hit us?
