Lol....do you know any maintenance history on it at all? It's kinda different for every vehicle regardless of make/model. Depends on how it's been maintained
I have the Carfax report and it looks good but I don't really know how much those things really tell you. The dealer that's selling it just replaced the front brake rotors and flushed the transmission fluid. Other than that I'm not sure.

Well if taken care of things like the trans will go for 100's of thousands of miles. I've got 162k on my 07 with 0 trans issues. The only major issue I've had in 5+ years is lifter failure related to the AFM system at about 135k. Fixed that and tuned out the AFM and she's running strong as ever at the moment.

I recently bought an 08 XL Denali variant with 83K miles. Never towed with. Dealer maintained from day 1. Two days after I brought it home, I did a complete transmission fluid flush and filter change (internal trans pump method), differential fluid change on both axles, transfer case fluid change, motor oil and filter change, throttle body cleaning, and replacement of spark plugs and wires with new OEM's.
The truck runs like it just rolled off the assembly line. I got lucky with a very clean 2008 6.2 liter that does not have cylinder deactivation. Just installed a brake controller and can't wait to start towing with it. I'm confident that this truck will be an asset for years to come. And the 6.2 vortec makes a nice rumble with my newly added intake tube.
