You are at the 1st "Break" point with that car. Accessory failures such as water pump/Alternator/wheel bearings/hoses etc. Ever vehicle has this point but differs in miles.

Yep, I drove a Honda Accord back in the 90's. About 130K-140K was when I had to replace the wheel bearings. Same with my current caddy, they were all shot at 150K

Consumable parts.

I did both the front wheel bearings on my GMC 4X4 last summer. Drivers side went bad so we just did them both. Right at 105K

Mine wasn't making any noise or anything, but chewed up a set of new front tires really fast. In doing the alignment for the new pair, my car guy noticed the wheel bearings were shot, he couldn't get the front tires aligned.
