Front end work has nothing to do with the engine. Did you buy it new? Has it been maintained per the factory maintenance schedule? What are the recommended maintenance tasks for the mileage you are at? Have you done them? Too many unanswered questions and too many variables involved to give you a difinitive answer.

As jkeaton has stated above, without knowing the maintenance history there is no definitive answer to your question.
But, of the known issues - oil sludge buildup, premature timing chain tensioner failure and water pump gasket leaking coolant into the engine and diluting the oil are, I believe, the only main issues with this series.
IF, all maintenance has been kept to schedule any issues should have been caught, more than likely, that may be a problem.
Keeping up on all maintenance per schedule is the most critical part for ANY engine to be kept running for the long term.
