Longevity of Turbo

Just curious but how many miles, on average, do turbos last. My 2000 9-5 Aero has 116k miles, and I plan driving to at least 200k. If folks think it's unlikely the turbo will last 200k miles, then I may consider having the original/current one replaced a couple months from now when my indie performs the 120K service. Given how far away my indie is, it's really inconvenient when the car breaks down.
Also, what are the signs of a pending turbo failure?
If/when a turbo does fail, is the vehicle driveable? That is, can I look now for a good price on a new turbo, keeping it as a spare, and when my turbo does fail, just drive the car to the indie part-in-hand.
Thanks for the advice,
KevinH
