Luckily, I have the service records.

New spark plugs 8,000km ago.
New 12V battery 8,000km ago.
brakes F 25% worn R 40% worn.
New inverter coolant pump @ 15,000km ago.
Headlights. look new.
New LF axle @ 107,000km
Throttle plate is a bit oily/gummy but not bad.
New computer @ 96,745km part# 89661-47054 was throwing codes: P3101, P3191, DP3199. They changed the engine oil at this service but not the transaxle fluid???

The others I will do later.

Added: I just looked up the recommended Transaxle fluid change interval:
Quote:
Hybrid Transaxle
• Replace fluid every 72 months/96,000 km
Dealers! You have to watch them like a hawk. I wonder if This would get me some traction on a replacement from Toyota? Couldn't hurt to try.
