It doesn't matter how many miles are on it. It's about how well the engine is being taking care of. You could have 50,000 miles on an engine and need to rebuild if not taking care of. But with a well maintained engine that means checking and changing the fluids on time as well as not being rough driving it, it can last 150,000-200,000 miles easily.
