I'll get the ball rolling. Mods, can you please please please get a sticky?

1) Carbon build-up aka "CBU" - if all emissions are in tact seems to be a ever 50-60K mile service required
1a) Injectors go bad, seems to be CBU related
2) Harmonic balancing pulley - tends to give up around 70K-120k miles
3) SCR mixer and related codes
4) driveshaft guibo
5) Transmission filter and fluid should have been serviced every 50K
6) Vacuum lines need replacing
7) thermostat tends to fail open after 5+ years
8) Urea tank issues

There are likely more, but those are the main ones I can think of. Plenty of examples running around with 150k+ miles, but definitely not a low maintenance car. Some of those issues can be avoided, especially if said vehicle hit a few potholes and lost some equipment along the way.
