Just basic driving that distance i would say a set of tires and 1.5 oil changes.
outside of that it could be about anything else going wrong or such.
we have a 2013 with 118k and haven’t had many issues since bought at 86k. However learned today we need to replace both front door control units. Dealer tech was amazed to see both fail together. My buddy at the factory thinks they didn’t initialize right after the battery died. Either way they are $275 or so each new or $70 or so used and a easy swap.
oh and the lift gate strut motor is slowly dying.
