Bulletproof invest

Just out of interest for very high mileage, is there anything that could be described as 'bulletproof'? Or at least, more bulletproof than a VAG 2.0 litre diesel?

I'd be betting on Hyundai/KIA's chain-cam 1.6 diesels, as they are state of the art, but they haven't been around long enough to say for certain. KIA offers a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty; Hyundai a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty. Compare that to VAG’s 3 years and 60,000 miles.
