I had a 1999 w/more than 70K miles and here is my experience
a) hydraulic engine mountings - no problems
b) fuel pump - no problems
c) DI Cassette - went through 2 of these - boyth under warranty - they do go bad
d) Brake discs - if you drive a auto, they tend to go faster. I had a manual and replaced the rotors ~65K mi. The pads went at 40K mi.
e) Brake pump and hoses - no problems
f, g &h) Drive belt, tensioner and pulleys - yes - do it. Mine were making noise s and if not remedied, it would mean a disabled car
i) engine ventilation hoses - no problems but all hoses may eventually fail as they age
j) water/heater hoses - no problems but all hoses may eventually fail as they age
k) air-con compressor - I was having AC issues previously but that was due to leaking refrigerant and the AC plumbing
Good luck!
