So I'm going to be hitting 200,000KM by the end of the year in the NC (06). So any tips on what would most likely need replacing?

The car is standard, clutch (+bushes), brake pads, brake rotors, all done not too long ago.

Has anyone else run into wear and tear on parts around then? Guessing shocks maybe wheel bearings?

I'm not noticing any issue just want to prepare the wallet

trade in for ND.

-or-

do whatever needs to be done. if done 200K. i'd expect the shocks probably needed replacing 60K ago. just di whatever is in the manual. and leave the rest for whenever issue arise.

Not sure what the bushes are like in the NC compared to the NA. But there is a massive difference of ride between say an NA with 150 K and an NA with 220K....with original bushes fitted. I changed mine at around 220.
Then there is the question if you are a boyracer or an old cogger like me. In hindsight I would have gone with the originals. At the time I was still in a boyracer mentality though.

I know the NA bushes weren't the longest lasting on the lot but if you decide to keep it, might be an idea to drive a NC with less km on it & feel if there is significant difference in the ride quality.The shocks (if original)would also definitely be part of that equation.
