987.2 Boxster, engine longevity?

I have been on a slow, lazy search for a P-car. Basically just looking at local cars as the pop up.

This 987.2 Boxster is at a local dealer.

I want a PDK/Tip, so that works. I stopped by and went over it with a fine tooth comb, looks great. Carfax shows it was hit in the rear, but no frame damage, and I can find zero evidence of it. All panel gaps good, paint correct.

LOVE the blue interior and top. Dealer put new tires on it.

That said, 88k is damn high miles. Given that it's a 2011, seems like it was someones daily driver. I've done a bit of searching, and these engines generally get pretty good marks for longevity, but I was wondering if anyone had any personal experience?
