If the car wasn't ever driven, the HG would last quite a while. (kidding)
Depends on how hard it's driven, whether it's ever had any modifications and a host of other factors. Overheat it and it'll give way at a very low mileage. Go easy on it and with proper maintenance of the rest of the engine, it could outlast the body.
I'm not big on preemptive fixes. The old adage "if it ain't broke" comes to mind. The other part of that saying "if it ain't broke, keep wrenching and it soon will be" seems to hold true when dealing with my maintenance skills.
