Mine had 330 on it until i replaced it , but old motor wasnt that bad as new motor made not much difference. could still see factory hatching on bores of old motor . but i susspect that rings were a bit tired.

280,000 on a TB42e fuel injected engine the last 190,000 on LPG. No problems (touch wood) apart from associated coolant leaks in various hoses around the engine, it's amazing just how many bl@@dy hoses there are and they seem to start leaking a few months or so after you've just fixed one and so your onto the next hose in line to be replaced. It's due for a tappet adjustment now so I'll throw in some plugs and new leads at the same time and give it a birthday

my old girl ( not my momma) has done 330 000 nothing major has gone
wrong apart from radiator,which is small. Run it on gas most of the time, change oil, plugs points and leads when it needs to be done and still runs like a dream. CANT KILL EM.

363000kms on my tb42.

Replaced the head at 300000 when I first bought it.

Apart from the odd leaky hose here and there and a viscous fan thats on the way out, it seems fine for the kays on it.

no major probs, water pump needs replacing and timing cover gasket has a leak.
