Hours on the meter do not set the failure point, ie, there is not a specific number of hours at which your motor will need a new head or turbo or starter or complete overhaul.
How the motor was maintained, and how its efforts were managed (by the nut behind the throttle) have everything to do with how long it will last.
A quick peek in the ER speaks volumes on this subject. Corrosion, dirt, oil leaks, dirty bilge all point to a poorly maintained engine.
My T-100 is just about to turn up 600,000 miles and runs well!
