Depends on how your drive it, and how many miles are on it now, i have seen some go 200,000 miles, Hondas can last forever it u take care of them.

Exactly...its NOT a simple Q.

And SpoonMan has the 'real' answer. It could last .1 mile because you forgot to add oil...it could go forever, because you never started it. So you've got all the 'other' possiblities in between.

Simple, meaning dumb. Any motor can last over 200,000 miles, it depends on how wll it was taken care of. No need for the attitude.

but he asked for mileage..so if you never started it, i guess you can just push it for 1000000kms and it'd last forever.. but I do agree that the question was too general.. and mine has 118000+km.
