160K km is indeed quite an amount, my 1SZ-FE Yaris has done just over 100K now, and similarly has had zero incidents after 20 Years and me being it’s 4th owner. doesn’t use oil, doesn’t burn coolant, no unusual rattles, everytime we change the oil it’s still very translucent.
they don’t make them like they used to, not even the toyotas.
Their diesel engines are great. At almost 100k miles on my diesel jetta and no issues whatsoever.
