The liners can go even on a well maintained standard car. The problem is down to the size of the gap between the cylinders. Cars before mid 09 had a very narrow gap and the later blocks this was made wider to aid water flow. But I can't say I've heard of any later cars suffering from broken liners. Apparently some people are fitting shims between the cylinders as a block mod along with a deck plate to try and eliminate the liners from cracking.
