Cars we've driven past 170K with only normal maintenance and wear part replacements:
'95 BMW 318iC
'97 Aerostar
'99 Accord sedan
100K cars that have needed same:
'81 VW Vanagon
'88 Mercedes 230E
'09 Subaru Forester
'12 Accord sedan
Modern cars will typically run for many years and miles while needing little.
Different folks have different ideas of what a wear part is. For some it's stuff like struts or a muffler. For me, it''s just brakes and tires.
Gotcha.
In the case of all of the above, I replaced batteries, tires, brakes and clutches.
Nothing else that wasn't recommended maintenance.
