I myself drove a lot of mostly highway miles over the next 150,000 miles and most of that was on I-84 or the Merrit parkway during off-peak hours. I would say that i'm excellent at predicting traffic so most times I would just left off the pedal long before so that the brakes were only rarely used.
(FYI I already installed new rotors last year, I had these in the shed, they are destined for the scrap yard)

I didn't think you can do that on a 126 because I mostly see are worn out rotors. But since the last 150k was on your watch, making it through the first 150k wouldn't surprise me.
My VW went 100k before the pads needed to be changed and then I swapped out both the pads and rotors. The original rotors had no wear lip to them that it could of easily gone another 50k or even 100k. Based in that experience, achieving that longevity is quite possible.
