I kinda' equate 100,000 miles on a vehicle to about 5-6000 hours on a tractor or other HD engine application. I think for the "orange and apple scenario" those figures could be considered benchmarks so to speak. At that point most anything could fail or they could run on a while longer. These days, 100,000 miles on a vehicle that is reasonably well maintained is really not a lot of wear and tear from my experiences. I used to work at a MF dealership in the early eighties and 5,000 hours on an ag tractor was about average; some could go longer and some puked before then. It depended a lot of course on maintenance. For what it's worth! A very interesting discussion!!!
