    Instead of being impatient for an answer why not try searching here for the highest mileage known on a 360

    Its probably well in excess of 100 000 km

    I made a search but I wanna learn the exact answer from the users and anyone who has a info. According to dealer it won't be a problem if gone to service periodically. But till which mileage it performs perfectly?

    With all due respect, I don't know how anyone can answer your question "exactly". All mechanical devices are subject to a probability of failure. One engine might fail at 100 miles, another engine might go to 100K miles. There might be a failure which is put right with a few hours repair and another failure that destroys the engine and requires complete replacement. Single points of information are insufficient to answer your question with any confidence. It is certainly the manufacturer's intention that the engine last for a certain number of operating hours or miles, e.g. 100K, with proper maintenance. But whether they meet that intention is a much more difficult question to answer. The only thing that seem generally agreed upon are: 1) 360's and later are believed to have a higher reliability than prior cars, and 2) very few 360's have been driven to the amount that would be expected of a normal car after 4-8 years or 50-100K miles to provide meaningful information on actual versus design life.
