Strictly speaking, even a single mile is bad for an engine, since wear begins from the first revolution of the crankshaft.

The answer to the question you are asking is, unfortunately, "it depends". An engine driven 120,000 miles could be in better shape than one driven only 12,000 miles depending on things such as loading, maintenance, and driving technique.
