I don't think this is an issue of how much mileage but the frequency of the driving.
If the car wasn't driven frequently but when it was driven it was taken on long trips you're still vulnerable to IMS failure. Or if the oil was changed at overly long intervals or in an inconsistent manner (regular intervals in the begining, less so later), or an inferior oil was used...all of these things could put you at risk.
Mileage by itself doesn't tell you the whole picture. One car with 142,000 miles may have been driven and cared fo in a completely different manner than another 142,000 mile car.
