An engine generally will last as long as it is looked after. Whats to say an engine with 100k kms hasn't been thrashed everyday of the week and not serviced properly compared to one thats done 200k kms and is serviced to the book and driven by an old fart. Looking at the service record is a good start, but depending on how long the person has owned the car it may be a good idea to assess certain things about them and there character. Driving position when they take you for a drive in it Whether the interior is clean or not alhtough if you are selling a car you'd hope he'd clean it for you. My corona is now on 414000kms and its still going strong, it's producing just a touch more power than stock, it uses oil but that it, in the 2 years i've owned it aparts from general servicing and topping up oil the car has never broken down.
