Showstoppers 900

Since I've had three situations recently with almost being stranded in my daily driver I want to spot likely showstoppers, if possible.
First one was the main fuel pump, second was the in-tank pump and third was the generator which I ordered today and is awaiting.

Car is a -93 945 with almost 510'km or 315kmiles on the clock, normally aspirated and all maintenance is done regularly and all wear items replaced when needed.
Some parts are still original and untouched though, and these come to mind, may have missed something;

Radio Suppression Relay
Idle air control valve
ECU
Igniton control unit
Ignition coil
Ignition amplifier
Throttle position sensor
Cooling fan relay
WOT sensor (isn't used?)
Lambda sensor
EGR valve (cleaned occasionally)

The fuel injectors are original but were ultrasonic cleaned not to long ago and tested for flow and spray pattern.
AMM was replaced long ago at ~10'km/6kmiles so it's pretty old.
Water pump was replaced just before the AMM.

I will change the bulb for the "No charge" indicator, looks like this is a critical point for the charging system.

I seek the boards collective wisdom; do you spot any items with a high probability for failure at this age and mileage and with a high impact?


TIA,
mila
