Default 4.6 Miles?

I'm looking at a 2003 Mustang GT with around 82,000k miles. is that considered alot on the mod motors? when do you usually run into problems and have to rebuild the modular motors?

I have 137k on my car and it still runs strong as hell and doesnt burn oil. Police cars and taxis have 4.6L in them and there way up there in mileage and they still run decent. As long as they are well maintained they will last forever.
