You neglected the 2nd part of that sentence - the "cared for" part.
Most 306's these days have not been cared for during a portion of their lives, unsurprising really as they're old cheap cars that are simply "white goods" to most.
Care isn't just servicing but the way the car is driven and treated too, something that most people forget.
That said, clearly 700k miles is well beyond average and fair to say that even with care and regular servicing it would be reasonable to expect many to fail short of that sort of mileage.
