I clean battery connections early and check wiring, as that is easy way to avoid winter starting issue.
At spring I do brake service, even I don't feel anything when driving, they are binding a bit as during winter they are not used enough and salt, water, etc causes sliding bits to stop sliding quite often during the winter.
3 million currently, but this article is giving some insight how to make car last that long:

This summarizes some event and has some video too:

If he can make his car last so well, then we can do the same with our cars using same principles. It would be ecological to not buy new to throw away after a while. I dream that one day even in here we could just swap improved tech bits in and drive much longer with vehicles.
