it really depends on the level of maintenance.
Rotary engines are very sensitive to care, and if one takes care of it, it would last a LONG TIME. But, if there is any neglegence, it would chip away at a cars life.
Really, depends on the previous owner.

Just look it over good.
Compression test it.
Any signs of overheating (boil over stains)?
Start it, look for smoke.
Warm it up, hold it at 4K for 15 seconds, then blip the throttle & look for smoke.
