Check the fluid to see if it is dark brown or has any flakes in it. Drip a drop from the dip stick onto a piece of white paper for best results. If either, you can suspect the tranny's life is short. If clear red, its newer fluid and a good sign. If slightly brown and without deposits, then is normal fluid that has been there a while.

I have 230,000 on my 740 and still performs great. I have a 940, but a serious head-on accident probably shortened that trany's life at 217,000 miles.

I'm sure that the 300,000 and up bricksters can give you more of a real world experience.
