How many miles did your car have on it when it developed it's first mechanical or electrical failure...attributable more to the car, than to the user/abuser? Of course, if you've gone many miles with no problems at all, PLEASE CHIME IN as well.

I had a rear suspension failure around 35 K on my 04 MCS, also a front drive output shaft I believe it was ? I am the second owner, and I believe the first owner was a younger male since the car had those glow tubes under it. Since those 2 things the car has been great, I have almost 82K on it. No electrical problem at all, have not even changed the brakes pads yet

Upper engine mount was first. This is apparently a known weak item. My failure accrued before 20k miles.
