Default What should I change at 125K

Got an S70 non-turbo with 125K miles, I've never changed the spark plug wires or distributor cap, but have kept up with other serviceable components like filters, spark plugs, etc. Still have all the original hoses with no problems as yet. Last time I did the front brakes I noticed some cracking on the rubber hoses coming from the front brake lines to the calipers - planning on replacing those. What else would you recommend that I replace?

Brake hose are common to crack, so get them done. I would replace the rotor and distributor cap and wires. It's not that hard once the cover is off and you also have no turbo tube in the way.

It is time for a fuel filter if not done yet.
Timing belt been done?

Thanks for all the responses -- kind of figured I was screwed with the code reader. I replaced the timing belt once at 70K along with the tensioner (recommended) interval and the fuel filter at 100K (also recommended interval). I always found it odd that the interval for the serpentine belt was 60k and 70k for the timing belt.

What about radiator hoses - they look ok but at 125k I'm wondering. Used to have a SAAB 900 Turbo and I changed all the hoses at 100K and that car had some pretty funky hoses. I hope mentioning SAAB doesn't get me kicked off the list.

You should also replace the serpentine belt and water pump.
