The engine in the picture appears to have patches of carbon on the cylinder walls. (May be a reflection)
If the dark areas on the cylinder walls are in fact carbon, That indicates stuck rings or possibly excess wear. Stuck rings can occur even in low mileage engines. There should be no carbon on the cylinder walls except for a narrow ring at the very top of the bore.
