I own a Toyota Prius that will be 6 years old with 175k miles and have done most of the regular maintenance. The CVT transmission has been flushed and has shown no strange noises or odd behavior. The only non maintenance issue was replacing a 300 dollar headlight controller. The 100 dollar each headlamp bulbs both went by 65k miles but are considered maintenance items.
Yes I am putting money aside in the event I may need a replacement battery pack .
