I drove my '07 GT to 185K miles before trading for my present '18. The CV joints were happy, and the boots looked good to my eyeballs.

My younger brother has a '00 Camry four-banger with about 240K miles on the original axle shafts. His daily is a Highlander, but the Camry is driven weekly. The last vehicle I had axle shaft work done to was our former '07 Nissan Quest, which had them replaced about ten years into its life. That minivan had a long wheelbase and a big turning circle, so the wheel was hard over fairly often.
