405,000 on mine. Alternator & radiator are the only major things, oh & an axle seal.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.

If service correctly, will last indefinatly, hard to say. We stripped a mates down with 650,000km and it was like new, almost no signs of wear. The hatching from the cylinder hone was just worn of in the middle. Main and big ends had just started to mark the white metal

If abused alot less.

As yours has been rolled this could be a different story, If it was turned off straight away and not tried to be started whilst full of oil it should be fine.

Do a compression check first of all, maybe flick in some main and big ends and a rear main seal when you remove it from the wreck.
