BTW, common sense tells me that the schedule stops at 150k because very few people keep their cars longer than that.
Average vehicle life is 11.5 years X 12k miles a year is only 138,000 miles.
Of course they are never going to publicly disclose their design criteria. But you can get a sense of it by the maintenance schedule. Like I said they test/design for 150k and it doesn't mean they will all fail at that point or that it won't go further. Just that their criteria is 150k.
You even said it - average vehicle life is 11.5* 12k = 138k. So already well within the design parameters.
