But don't worry, you will be at moderate risk of the car breaking down before 10,000 miles and you can't fix the part because it has been deliberately engineered so that mechanics can't fix it and it has to be replaced.

I mean, 300,000 miles is a lot more than 5-7 years for most people. Now, American cars don’t last, but my car is old enough to get its drivers license, and it’s still doing pretty damn well. Until I moved into the city this year I was regularly getting 36-38mpg, I’m still getting 30 with my short city driving commutes though. Sitting at 240,000 miles. It’ll probably take about 5 more years to hit 300,000 unless I do some big road trips.
