    You have another job running, now! :D
    Invite him here, his cab may be the first "user" to reach 100kmi. Only 40000km left.

    And it would be quite an amusing image: Portugal making a cup of coffe to Greece! :peace:

    58k here...

    Changed work locations, so I'm most likely going to limit my 220mi round trips once a week, along with a regular daily 112mi commute... Now I only have about 62mi daily! :)

    Given that most of the world uses KM, I wonder why so many of us, even outside the US, seem caught up in the romance of miles.
    Socrates' neighbor ought to win some kind of prize in my view!

    Since I was bored tonight, I went on Autotrader and cars.com and found two high mileage 2010 Priuses. One had about 80k and the other had 118k. Since I was already on my own owner's portal, I put in the VIN of the vehicles and found that both cars had needed hub/wheel bearing replacements. The one with 118k, right before being put on the lot, needed two front wheel bearing units. The other one needed a LR at about 80k and had a front one (IIRC) replaced around the 50k mark. So I wonder if this will become a common issue in the future?

    Gawd this is bringing back good memories :) I so miss my trusty old Toyota 4Runner! It was the most reliable car I have ever owned to date!

    That is some slick investigating! I would have never thought to simply hack the owners portal using a different VIN for repair information!! Thanks for the tip!

    Can you please explain the acronyms LR and IIRC for foreign Priuschatters? ;)

    I had in the early 90's a Opel Corsa that had front wheel bearings shot at 25k. I believe there was an issue with the pre-delivery transport (railway) that produced these early failures, and affected many other manufacturers.

    20 years later, same kind of problem, or a bad production set/batch?

    Wheel bearings do wear out and will need replacement eventually. The question is what is considered an acceptable life.

    MB860 ?

    Yes, agreed with the bearings wear.
    Of course, 80k/110k seems a bit low, that's why I said it is a problem in those units.

    Interesting on the wheel bearings. Would those be in the normal 36k warranty or part of the drivetrain warranty?
