I work in a shop and the amount of work your car does regularly is wild. I also still have a pic of a VVT solenoid that needed to be replaced, along with a new one. You can see the buildup on the screens that inhibit its operation

Basically: change your oil regularly. That basic maintenance can prevent the big stuff. Though some manufacturers like Hyundai and Kia have issues on some engines causing them to consume excessive oil. To the point that they had to extend warranties.
