With 212k miles (90k or so in Scotland, the rest here) I'm not even in the
running.  ISTM somebody out there had close to 400k a few years ago...

Personally I think a more interesting question would be how far people are
getting on original engines, rebuilt engines (and are they rebuildable or
thrown rods and such), ditto transmissions.  Should be able to keep them
going indefinitely if you keep throwing parts at them, so long as the body
holds together.
