As long as keep up with servicing and don't drive like a knob then there is plenty of life still in it.

Oil, Oil Filter, Spark Plugs, HT Leads, Coil Pack, Air Filter, Timing belt done?

After that it could just be wear and tear items like the clutch depending on how it has been driven in its lifetime.

My 1.2 16v is on 102,000 and still feels brand new

I imagine the clutch and the gearbox will go pop before the engine tbh.

How long is a piece of string.....

Dave's Trophy is on 170k and still goes like half that!

How long is a piece of string.....

Twice the length from the middle to the end...

 

[sideways danny]

keep it looked after and it'll keep going. I imagine things like the radiator would be fairly tired so sensible to change it and keep the engine healthy

Twice the length from the middle to the end...

Twice half it's length would have done but yeah

Some will fail on the bottom end, some will do ring landings, some will throw a rod.

Mileage can vary so much but generally the F4R is pretty reliable.
