Optimistic in what way? With regular oil changes, chains can last a very
long time and hundreds of thousands of miles is not uncommon. My Cummins
engines were gear driven and those normally don't need to be replaced
either. If the previous owners abused the engines then all bets are off.

Timing belt life is generally 100k kilometers.
The chain life of the single M102 engines is the same, plus the guides
and tensioners like to crap out too, so inspection is a must every now
and then.
