And long runs at normal operating temperature
Several older petrol 'real' Saabs in the nineties/early noughties that I took to well over 200K without real issue - 900s tended to need gearboxes between 150 and 200K though. Had one 9000 Aero still very refined drive @ 230K.
More recent GM Saabs of lesser quality. 1.9 TiDs pretty rubbish and needing frequent attention - electrics, suspension, cam belts, water pump. 2.2 TiDs and 9-5s better. My last 9-5 estate went to 201K without needing anything. My present 9-5 estate on 140K and climbing at the rate of 25-30K a year.
Moral of the story - the more GM input, the more to avoid.

All our cars have done 'high' miles according to anyone else...
'recently'
Seat Cordoba Vario - sold to friends at 140k, they ran until 180k when it was scrappage schemed.
Passat 1.9tdi - traded in at 180k
Mazda 323 - bought at 126k, sold a year later at 136k for £100 more than I paid. Immaculate and NOTHING wrong or not working, bar a squeaking electric aerial.
Touran - sold at 160k as suspension (again), turbo, clutch and timing belt=service were all looming/on way out at the same time 😯
Galaxy - was bought 20 months ago at 70k, hit 118k this week and I plan on running to the scrappy.
