If one takes promotes good 'care and feeding' of their car, it can last almost indefinetely. This means religiously changing the oil and oil filter every 3,000 miles at the bare minimum. Auto manufacturers are now promoting less frequent oil changes, but you will be better off in the long run when changing this at 3,000 miles instead ot 5,000 or 7,500 miles.

Never abuse the engine by constant high speed shifting or high rpm revs all the time - just drive normally, but not slow like gramma moses either. If you take care of your engine, it will take care of you, too.

I change the engine oil and filter every 3,000 miles and never rev the engine hard until it has warmed up to the normal operating temperature.

My Subaru Forester S-Turbo 2001 Coming up to 100,000 miles and no sign of any engine wear, knocks or blue smoke.

Providing that you also change the cam belt at the recommended service interval 250,000 miles should easily be achievable.

I am not sure on bodywork or suspension though as suspension is getting a little soft and droops at the back end.

There is no way of saying for sure. As long as the engine never overheats and you change the coolant every 50,000 miles it should last the life of the engine.
