Default Most miles?

Probably been asked before, but does anyone know who has the most miles on a 2.5L motor? Either that, or how many miles do you have on your 2.5L motor?? Wife is wondering what type of longevity to expect out of hers. She is at 47K and change now and I told her it is still a baby!!

LOL, 47K is barely broken in. I don't have a 2.5 but my 2000 Beetle has 167k miles on it and it still runs like new. Actually probably better than it was new.
