at what mileage did your OEM alternator need to be replaced? 2003-2008 corolla

[SteveR]

Hello All, I'm trying to look ahead for potential problems on my 2005 LE (now 207k miles). If you have a 9th generation (2003-2008) corolla, at what mileage did you need to replace the OEM alternator?

Use it until it dies.

Mine is at 118000, just a small bit of bearing noise right now, but still working well.

thanks folks for the answers. My alternator just died last week at 212,000 miles. I was trying to anticipate it, but I got stuck on the road when it failed.
