Considering that a number of people back in the day got these to 100k miles with few problems, I don't see how you'd have major mechanical problems at 16k unless the car was exclusively driven very aggressively or simply not maintained. I think 116k is more likely. Even with several cars, sounds like this was on the road for 30 years and just a few thousand miles a year average will add up.

Inspect the driver's door jamb area for oil change stickers. Probably from just 1 or 2 you could tell if it's rolled over. Or papers in the glovebox.
