I'm right at 155,000, original tranny, transfer case, and engine here too...the only thing I've done is preventative maintenance such as the starter, fuel pump, spark plugs, etc. I did have to replace the coolant tank, and a vaccum line, but other than that no big issues. I do need to change the shocks...I'm assuming they are from the factory since I bought the car @ 40k and haven't changed them!
It has even survived an attack from a rather large tree several years back:

All it took was a bit of rubbing compound...and the factory paint still looks great today. These cars are built to last with proper maintenance!

I traded mine (03 X-type 3.0L) back in Aug of 2011, and it had 82,000 miles..Without any major issues.
Things I did to keep it running good over the years (in no particular order):
All in all nothing major...Never left me stranded other than when the battery failed and that was in my garage.

The 2003 2.0D I'm looking at has 130K and is on a used car lot, I don't think there's much history with it as it was supposed to have been owned by a mechanic who did everything himself, I'm a little wary as I've done my own work on many of cars I've owned over the last 50+ years, but I always used to keep a record of everything, perhaps that's just me.
It's also nice to read that someone else has bought from a used car lot he one I'm considering but seems to have been well looked after, but another one the same I looked at today was quite rough and certainly not worth looking at further.

2004 3.0. 145,000
I bought her last spring with 135,000. I love her to death. I've replaced the TC fluid twice. I installed a ball valve on mine and it's very easy to change. I also replaced the transmission fluid. I put new plugs in her the first weekend I had her. They were original. I owned a '01 S Type prior to this and I enjoy the X more. She handles like a sport car.
