One positive thing for the cars longevity that she has going is the fact that she puts a lot of miles on the car in a short time.
A car and engine last a lot more miles when they are put on the car in short time.
Yes, suspension parts might take a beating if it is rough roads but those are easy to replace.
Since it is an 2002 and the coolant is supposedly for "life" I would still suggest to have it changed and also replace the coolant thermostat at this point if not done earlier.
The cooling system works a lot better and stay healthy with a fresh batch of coolant.
Make sure that the brake fluid has been properly flushed, that is sometimes overlooked at the major services.
And least but not less, make sure the transmission gets flushed too on a regular interval and that the new fluid 3309 is used and not the Dexron III.
Check you major service records for evidence of those fluids.
