Default Engine Life - Petrol vs Diesel

Need to buy a vehicle asap, and have seen a Misubishi Pajero 3.0L V6 Petrol at a good price, but the milage is around 125,000 miles and is 1994.

Just wondering, for a well looked after engine (regular basic services, not pushed to extreme revs or adverse driving) then what is the life (in miles) for....
a) a non turbo fuel injected petrol engine
b) a non turbo diesel engine.

Also when the engine is starting to fail, what components start failing.

Thanks.
