with only time and not use, it should be okay. think of it like putting new brake pads but with rotors that are still within service spec.
Pros: should be okay

Replacing the Thermostat with a OEM part has solved the issue (with coolant flush) from a dealership.
Pros: solved issue
Vehicle:
Nissan
Most of my experience is from the Infiniti side of the family, but I replaced an alternator on all my higher mileage vehicles. In general, the diode packs in Nissan alternators go out after about 150k miles or so.
Pros: diode packs go out
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 241401 km
I bought a second hand Leaf off a dealer a few years back and they called me up wanting to service it for ~$350 & I'd looked at the service schedule & seen it was due a cabin filter and washer fluid check, so I did that myself (tbf the air filter was pretty gross, but only cost me like $30 from SCA)
Pros: easy to replace, cheap
Cons: air filter was gross
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
After several tests they were able to get the battery fail code they were looking for. Nissan replaced the battery with a new one, and so far so good.
Pros: new battery, so far good
I'm in central Texas and the Leaf does just fine for in city driving. The batteries run hotter than a liquid cooled battery does of course but they are capable of operating at Texas summer temperatures. Where they struggle is on long highway trips. High speeds mean more load on the battery which also means more heat and more likely to have the car limit power due to battery temps. I have noticed that Leafs in Texas do tend to show more battery degradation and less capacity than leafs that are in cooler climate.
Pros: fine for city driving
Cons: struggles on highway, more degradation

Nissan Leaf
Our other car, the 2016 Leaf, kinda is the embodiment of all the negative talking points you hear about, since it's an older EV: It uses an outdated & slower charging standard, has a small battery, and has significant battery degradation (29%) since Nissan decided, in their infinite wisdom, to not give the Leaf a coolant loop for the batteries. (Heat is the biggest killer for EV batteries).
Cons: significant battery degradation, no battery coolant loop, outdated charging standard, small battery

I find this to be the most embarrassing point. The manual can't handle a 20 HP/34 TQ increase. Those aren't huge numbers and generally OEM manual trans now days are overbuilt. If I'm a manual Z owner that is looking to do bolt-ons or a tune I'd certainly reconsider.
Pros: OEM manual trans overbuilt
Cons: manual can't handle increase

Happened out of the blue. Made vision blurry, you can see how wavy it is in the photos. Nissan is replacing the windshield for us under warranty.
Cons: blurry vision, wavy defect
To save money, I think they skipped shock absorbers, and just used marshmellows as dampers
Cons: marshmallow-like dampers
