Thinking about picking up a GT86, possible a BRZ but prefer Toyota, for a track day/club sport car. Looking at 2013/14. What sort of mileage do these start having engine problems in? How long would one reasonably expect an engine to last?

2012 - 2013 cars needed a recall for valve springs (Most have had it done) but otherwise the engine is fairly reliable whether kept NA or boosted. A fair few owners in the US were hitting 100k miles within the first few years.

On my second 86 and has held up perfectly fine as far as the drivetrain is concerned. Would recommend running 5W-30 oil for track duty and Motul 300 or Millers (75W-90 GL4+5) for the gearbox and diff.
