Regular PMS (not just replace/repair when broken) is a big factor. We can confidently drive any of our cars (two of them are over 18 years old already) out of town at any time without having to do a service check. Just load and go. We check the air and fluid levels weekly and do the regular servicing every 5,000kms. Belts, hoses, brakes are also changed and replaced when needed or after a certain number of kms.

Kotse mo yan bakit ka kinakabahan? Proper maintenance is the key, a relative of mine drove his car from MM -> Cebu. One car from a different forum drove his Cressida Luzon-Visayas-Mindanao and back ....
It depends on how the car was maintained. If you don't give a damn on how it runs, then it should fail you anytime soon. If it's the opposite then you shouldn't worry.
And oh btw, do avoid TXT-SPEAK.

It only goes to show how tough the big body corolla is. I own a GLi myself and I could say that's in very good condition.
Lahat ng sira niya due to wear and tear. Marami na ko napalitan and I think my car is good for another 5 years. Religious change oil every 5000 km lang talaga. Kapag may sira pagawa agad. As much as possible I get original parts too. Yung mga taxi na karag karag dapat di na talaga ibiyahe. Yung iba masabi lang na may aircon pero ang init init.

One more item: Cheaping out on parts and repairs.
Always invest in the tried and tested part brands (whether OEM or replacement), and a good mechanic/shop. No shortcuts allowed. I dont mind spending a little more as long as its for added durability and peace of mind which adds up to more savings in the long run.
