Just the other day we clocked over a minor milestone for our late model 2008 Prado. We have reached 60,000km. We have owned our Prado for 2 years now and when we got her she only had just over 10,000km.
Just gave her a service and she is happy.

Apart from regular servicing the only things that have needed replacing is toyota shocks,lower control arm bushes and ball joints,tie rod ends,cv boots and Im about to replace the leaking tappet cover gaskets while I check the valve clearances.
Our prado is now at 250000km.
I have replaced the starter motor
The tappet cover gaskets that I replaced at 200000 are good but its still weeping oil.It seems that the covers are porous which is really hard fix
