Default What to watch for? - approaching 225k miles

Our(the Mrs) 2012 RX is running like a champ. Only the occasional(2x year) dash lightup of AFS/ABS/AWD - which clears itself after a few days; and/or when i loosen/retighten the gas cap.

I am curious to know, what are some possible failed components/systems at this age(yrs/miles) that I should be on the lookout for?

I literally have never done anything except basic maintenance(oil change/brakes/rotors).

Knock on wood, the reliability has been amazing. Having owned several high mileage sedans in the past, and becoming surprised..I'm curious about what to expect as the RX ages in miles.

FWIW, I think I found the info (droids that I was looking for) in this thread - Who Has the Highest Mileage on their Gen3?

I still welcome any info/feedback.

Since I am the originator of that thread, this may be a repeat. What I've done aside from the brakes/oil/filter/fluid flushes...

- PCV valve replacement
- replaced all hoses
- replaced thermostat proactively

I think that's it!
