Given good maintenance, many vehicles are capable of running up high mileage relatively trouble free. I currently have a '98 Chevy S10 that is now relegated to work around the house that has 270,000+ miles of service under its belt. Doesn't use oil, drip oil, etc. Still got a lot left in that little Isuzu 4 cyl.
Gave a '99 Chevy 4WD Blazer to the daughter to help them out during a financial crunch. It had 240,000+ miles on it and still ran great. No oil burning/etc. Unfortunately, it was totaled in a non-injury accident and that was that.
Changing the oil and filter every 3000 miles and keeping it serviced will do wonders for a well made vehicle.
