Help with what to replace in my corolla

Hey guys my 2007 Corolla CE is at 111,864 miles. And aside from regular oil changes ect. Pretty much everything is stock. I replaced my spark plugs about 15,000 miles ago. What do you guys think I should look at replacing? Thanks for all your help!

Flush brake and power steering fluid. Drain and replace tranny fluid. How are your brakes? PCV valve should be replaced. Did you get the ECU inspected? Coolant is overdue so change that.

I got my intake manifold gasket replaced maybe 20,000 miles ago? I've just started learning what I can from reading and talking to friends about engines and stuff so I'm not real familar with what everything does but I've been trying to find stuff I can do myself. I either got my coolant or transmission fluid changed when I got the intake manifold replaced Ill have to call and check which one. My brakes are fairly new but I probably need to give them a look with all the driving I do. Should I worry about shocks, struts, tire rods? Thanks for all the help again

My 2007 S has 86K on the clock and I'm in the same boat. Going in next week to get the front brakes replaced as they are starting to squeel. Also getting the tranny flushed and filled. I was told to replace the coolant at 100K and the plugs at 120K. I just changed my airfilter and cabil filter last weekend. I thought my A/C was going bad till I replaced it...it was clogged full. I do replace my oil every 6K with Mobil1 and a Fram extended guard filter. This has been the lowest maintenance vehicle I've ever owned. The only other things I've done is buy a set of tires and a battery. Tucson weather eats batteries so that was expected.

My ex lives in Tucson lol I just feel like I should have replaced more by now with all the miles on it besides the regular stuff like oil change, breaks, ect.

I feel your pain. My wife has a 2004 Sienna that we've spent a ton on for parts and preventiave maintenance. Keep asking, why am I not doing the same on the Corolla. I'm rocking 37-40 MPG to boot, but I drive like my mom anymore.
