    The timing chain on the 1NZ engine can go for $500,000 mi or it can fail the first week out on the road but that's not likely The one NZ is a very proven engine no kidding You're on the right track maybe the spark plugs Make sure your coils are good and you have good fire for the ignition.

    Until the motor blows up for some other reason? I would expect the rings to lock up and oil usage to go through the roof long before the timing chain fails. Assuming of course that the car never runs low on oil. Heck, even then it would probably throw a rod before the chain went.

    It's a CHAIN, not a BELT. Timing belts (rubber) do need to be replaced (at least on interference engines), timing chains (steel), not so much.

    IF the engine is maintained correctly, then the timing chain lasts "the life of the engine". You shouldn't need to replace it unless there is abnormal wear. (my 2006 has almost 200k miles and no indication that there are any mechanical problems).

    Typical routine maintenance items are: oil & all filters, engine and inverter coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, spark plugs and pcv valve, clean throttle body. Inspect water pump belt and idler, brakes, suspension, test the 12V battery, cooling system parts, exhaust system, tires, lights, etc.

    The OE inverter coolant pump lasts around 100k.
    I don't know if the fuel filter is serviceable (North American spec Gen2 is not)

    at 240k miles my 2006 Prius throw a code for timing correlation which means the timing chain is stretched. It is perhaps the easiest and cheapest timing chain replacement I ever did.

    You only change it when it throws a code or making a noise (tensioner maybe)

    If you're doing proper maintenance such as oil change often this shouldn't be an issue and it could last a lifetime.
