Back in 2009 when I got my licence, I was really tempted to buy an '89 BMW e34 which had done 2.5 million kilometers. It was absolutely perfect in every way but I simply could not afford the fuel needed for a 3.5 liter straight six bi-turbo(it was the Alpina B10). I'd still get one if I find it for a reasonable price but that's kinda off topic. point is, it had done 2.5 million kilometers. As for the soviet cars, they rarely had done over 100k. A neighbor of ours when I was a kid had a lada and in it's 30 years it had done less than 35000km and for as long as people could remember, nothing that involved wires in the car ever worked. Point is, by those accounts, a mule is possibly the most reliable form of transportation and will likely outlast any car.
