Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
An old wisdom:
There is no replacement for cubic displacement
Truly a moron who needed shooting. Like most do-gooders, really.
Yep, they just go on and on, seemingly indefinitely. The super-high-mileage maladies/things that need doing seem to be
oil changes on the box and diff
crank seal
oil pickup clogged
fried old crank sensor
ABS ECU
these are things that can/should be worked on much earlier of course, but these are the things that tend to occur at the stratospheric end of the mileage spectrum. But as for the engines 'just dying' through being completely worn out, it doesn't seem to be an issue. No wheezy valves, low compression ratio, cracked blocks, warped heads, stuffed manifolds all the things that many engines fail on through the natural wastage of time. In spite of being not brilliant for tuning, and known to be a bit 'boring' they're racking up the miles very very well in the twighlight years when many a contemporary engines are dying around them...
