You'll have to get the car's history to be able to know that

Impossible to tell without the vehicle history.

But it actually depends on the average daily milage. Eg it will take about 13years for a typical daily milage of 40miles.
Of course, it will take much longer if you rarely drive the car.

Lagos to Ibadan is about 120km=75miles
for you to cover 183k miles it will take ~2440 trips
Now if you live in Ibadan and work in Lagos, it will be 1220 return trips.
if you go to work everyday of the week Monday to Sunday, it will take you 3yrs 4 months to cover that mileage
If Monday to Friday, it will be 4 yrs 9 months of daily usage
If you were driving daily wthin Lagos, you won't reach that mileage in 20 years! because lagos is very small, with terrible traffic

The unfortunate reason most people pay a lot for Toyota reliability is if you drive in Lagos for 4 years will take less than 4 months in the US AVG. 1000miles /month.
How fair is that measure of reliability?

183000miles = 292,800km as 1.6km equals 1mile.

292000/12000 = 24.4years avg distance traveled 12000 km per year could be less, could be more.

That car don waka but with good maintenance it is still strong as ever grin
