I have an ‘02 WRX with similarly ultra-low miles. I have also replaced all belts, water pump and filters and think that the suspension system needs to be attended to for the next 70k miles. Other than a few squeaks and rattles that I hope will be reduced with some suspension work it runs great and no problems!
I haven’t even replaced one light bulb in the car in almost 18 years though I know I should replace the dimmed halogen headlights by now.
