I have several 900's, and a couple of 9000's too, that all have reached 100k-356k miles. In each and every one the only time the head gasket needed replacing was following an overheat event of some type. Split hose, stuck thermostat, poor radiator function. The headgasket doesn't always let go right away, it's just been hurt, but it will fail soon.
Best advice on avoiding head gasket is to keep your cooling up to par.
