I've got a 1999 with 115K miles and the original garrett turbo, and had a 1986 9000 that went 225k with original turbo - that was before water cooling.
What I also have on my 9-5 is a problem with a worn timing chain and maybe a balance chain, and my oil changes were regular with good quality oil.
Since you are doing a 120k service and maybe replacing the serp belt - I'd ask the mechanic check the measurement reading the on tensioner on the timing chain. Likely you are fine but a pretty simple thing to check that can give you info about the health of the internals.
