What failures can I expect in future?

I have owned an 06 1.5 petrol Colt from 1 year old and it now has 50K on the clock. It has performed flawlessly.

I am thinking of driving it for a further 30k miles and wondered what failures I can expect. I drive about 10K a year, mostly on dual carrigeways and usually journeys of over 10 miles.

Not a lot of trouble. Chain cam engine, so no belt to change. All we have is here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mitsubishi/colt-5-do...d
