Well, for $4K you gotta cut corners somewhere, besides wasn't someone here saying any modern car should get +200K miles out of the engine?

Looking at car fax info on Jaguar's.
160,000 miles on a modern Jaguar should be no problem. Not many over the 160K mark for me to judge out to 200,000.
It does seem most of what wears on cars is time, plastic parts, rubber parts.
Disuse allows these to crack easier than regular use.
Hard use also cracks them.
Ideally a car driven at night from a garage to a garage would be the ticket.
Miles and wear will not be linear from car to car and user to user. That is the important part.
A car can be worn out at zero miles if it was dropped from 100 feet off a cargo ship.
