I am having a nightmare with a defender 200 TDI i purchased. It said it had a recent new turbo but on the way home turbo seized. What are the potential reasons for repeated turbo failure in 200 TDI?

Was it a brand new replacement or a used replacement if it was a used one it could have been on its way out before it was fitted to your vehicle.
