Would it be wrong if I said there is not definite answer.
It depends, how many times you drive it, how long you drive it for, how hard you push the engine, how long you let the engine worm up, how many times you change the oil and oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, etc.

not wrong.. just remarkably vague.
for engines that are reasonably caed for and not thrashed..
K engines usually make it to 200,000 before blowing smoke.
4AC/4AG, more like 200-300... my mums 4AC is going past 330.
bigger engines tend to last longer as they rev les, and to a large extent revs are what causes wear (after poor servicing etc.)
a 250-300Kkm engine should be considered to be fucked, and be happy if it is anything but.
as 4AGTE said, the km of a car also indicate the wear on the rest of the car, steerign and suspension... engines are easily changed/rebuilt, but everything else is more annoying..
