by luck, how well maintained, how driven.

I know of 2 cars at 200k plus. Both very well maintained since new. One by a dealer, one by the owner. One driven daily and on many multi-k-mile-long road trips. One driven in many AX events and on the track by an instructor.

Many cars suffer from neglect and so it isn't seen as worthwhile to maintain them. Many over a 10 year life get in accidents. Some pass into the hands of people without the smarts or the $ to maintain them. And so eventually they become parts cars.

Mine at the 9+ years mark is still more reliable than my Honda, or Acura.

So I'm not sure we can say for sure...except you hear more about cars that are having troubles than you do about problem free cars that are probably being driven rather than being written about.
