I suppose your question beats the 'I am 60 what should I do?' 'I am 60 should I worry?'...

As for your car if it's been looked after, serviced and not abused it should be fine.

It'll be fine. Note that you're out of warranty it's time for a turbo

Not out of warranty...
Warranty in South Africa isn't 60,000 kms, it's 100,000 kms or 3 years, whichever comes first.
Service plan in South Africa is 60,000 kms or 4 years, whichever comes first.

OP, your car is out of service plan, so you must pay for your own services, but until your warranty expires (either 3 years or 100,000 kms), you MUST have your car serviced at a Toyota dealer to retain your warranty. If you do your own servicing, your warranty will lapse. Read the first few pages of your Toyota South Africa "Book of Life" - it's all there.

OP, don't be concerned. Our cars aren't made of glass.
Follow Toyota SA's recommendations/instructions and you'll be fine.

It's totaled buy a different car.
If you keep driving it, the car will find a way to cut your pee hole off.

Now take your pick, which statement sounds more silly mine or the op's.

I'm planning on doing way more than 60k in mine!
And I am lightly modded.
