High mileage doesn't relate to overheating and offroading. More relevant is regular maintenance of the cooling system.

high mileage does play a factor when it comes to offroading or heavy duty stuff because some parts will be worn off.

that's you but him? Probably didn't know any better. But it is possible when gunning it with low range for extended period of time especially uphill (maybe muddy)... you'll overheat it. Or if he did this many times... Xterra is bound to reach its breaking point.
who knows how he drives it and how he maintains it.
