45k Got it w/ around 42k June of last year. I'm retired so I don't drive much. Have a 2001 camry that is my snow car; but it snowed today and I drove the xB. I love my xB though. My Camry will b lucky to see 1 or 2k a year. Hard to justify a 3rd that I have my eye on, a Fiata.
I purchased mine oct '16 and it had 3,800 miles.. to date it's at 13,900 miles, I drive 93 miles round trip Monday-Thursday and have made many trips to northern Wisconsin with it, so far so good other than the crappy Mpg's and it's small tank, I'm running General altimax arctic snows on it and it's great in the snow, does well on the snow/ice covered dirt and gravel roads in the north also.
I think they should have built the XB like this... lifted 3"... about a foot longer... 4x4 with a VW 2.0l diesel with a 6 speed manual... that would've been a great ute

I've got a 2008 thats about to hit 130k. I've been pretty good about routine maintenance. How has yours been holding up since you last posted? I'm started to get a little nervous because I've always had hand me down cars from my family that never made it past 100,000. Seems like the only issue I keep running into is my brakes wearing down quicker than normal, which is my fault I suppose because I got brakes done at Midas.

130k here.
130,210 miles on my 08 xB, purchased Sept 30 2007, so now officially 10 years old. On my 5th windshield. Changed front brakes/rotors at 108k; still have factory pads on rear brakes. Factory shocks and struts; changed TRD rear sway bar at 105k because the original one (put in by dealer at purchase) finally broke. Have changed plugs, PCV valve, coolant; on 3rd transaxle oil change (Redline finally eliminated all gear clashes on any shift). Swapped factory Pioneer base radio in July for JVC KW-M730BT with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Carpet is worn through to metal by the side of the dead pedal; wore factory mats through to carpet some time ago. Thinking I should purchase TRD struts, etc. while still available since the brand and car have been discontinued and I’m unlikely to purchase anything else until this car has a major problem or accident.
Still waiting for Toyota to send me repair order on the recalled Takata airbag in the passenger side. Got a recall notice a couple of years ago with NO information about when it would or could be repaired.

I bought a used 2014 xB with 108K runs like a bat out of hell! Just put new tires on it Michelin Defenders and it completely changed the feel, it rides so much better and is quiet. They cost a lot but I'm keeping this machine! Fun to drive!!
The automatic trans. had some reddish/black fluid so I changed it using the Toyota WS fluid and no problems so far. Interesting how the owners man didn't mention much about changing the automatic trans fluid. Runs great!
