What do you consider high miles? I'd say if you can get 30k miles on a 400-500 rwhp rotary you're doing pretty good.

considering the amount of engines failing lately simply due to age you probably won't be finding too many that are lasting long at all.

The first engine in the vehicle was made with brand new parts, and probably spent most of its life without power mods. Engine life only goes down from there.
