There are allot of variables that go into a question like that.
1. The history of vehicle maintenance.
2. How many current miles.
3. The age of the vehicle.
4. The history of treatment.
A vehicle engine can go 200,000 miles and even more if properly maintained and driven decently.

Depends on the vehicle, but what kills an engine isn't mileage, it's neglect.
If you take care of the car, do the oil and filter changes, tune-ups, keep the coolant topped off, and do all the other preventative maintenance, you could probably get over 150,000 out of it, maybe more. If you blow all that off, it might not survive to 50,000.

Depends on how well the SUV has been maintained. If well maintained(oil changes, lubes, brakes regular) 15 years or so 200,000+ miles.

After 130,000 miles it a good thing to start looking
Although vehicle engines with todays tech do last alot longer but with this mileage most engines start to show their weak spots such as starters,sensors,fuel pumps etc.

it depends on the manufacturer and what year it was made
most modern vehicles can go 200-300K miles or even more before the engine starts to go. Japanese makers like Toyota and Honda tend to go even longer.
