Smile B18C4 Q: which is better? b18c4 129,000miles owned by an OAP or 98,000miles boyraced?

Question: Do you think a car owned by an over aged pensioner that's got 129,000 miles is better than a car that's been revved and boyraced at 98,000miles??
both cars are: mb6 vti b18c4 saloon car

Assuming the 98000 mile car has been boyraced, and the 129,000 mile one has never ever been boyraced...how much of an impact does boyracing have on an engine?

How much wear and tear does 129,000 miles have MORE on an engine than a 98,000 mile engine that's been boyraced?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Which one would you think is more likely to have been properly cared for?

The 129,000 mile one has been serviced every year, new oil, tyres, gearbox oil etc. no expenses spared.

the 98,000 mile one is unknown...but probably not serviced as regularly.
