About 15 years ago when I was selling Fords, I took a diesel E350 cargo van on trade with 670,000 miles. It was owned by a cleaning company who ran the thing 24/7. The seats were shot, the body had heavy rust but the van still great.
They claimed they never did a thing to it but front end work. He said they would have kept it longer if the body would have held up.
When I was involved with a car auction a couple of years ago, we ran through a Camry with 550,000. The car was in decent shape and ran well. It brought about $1500 if memory serves.
