My original distributor lasted for 300,000 although it did have a leak. I think the plug wires are original as well as the ignition coil.
The Honda distributors really don't go bad, they just leak. It's very cost efficient to simply rebuild them. There are also aftermarket versions available and Honda still makes OEM distributors for nearly 25-year-old cars. At the moment it doesn't make any sense to switch over.
