Lack of preventive maintenance if I were to guess. Also, these generators would need a supply of diesel fuel, and typically have a storage tank on site. If the diesel isn't used and replaced, it can gum up the generator.

I've gotten 60 year old tractors to run on 60 year old diesel. Gumming up is much more common in gas applications. I guess modern diesel might not be so robust, I know almost nothing about modern engines.
There is nothing so satisfying as when an old engine with bad gas finally catches and starts running continuously.
