I was told in excess of 300,000 miles when I bought my car and I'm inclined to believe that providing the car hasn't been constantly driven like you stole it and not maintained properly, eg. regular oil changes, etc.

I was thinking the same thing. I think only the tensioner may need replacement. That is, unless the chain just blows apart for some unknown reason.
