Car does 120km on the highway 5 days a week so its not like its used for just small trips or suburban driving.
Could be a heat and vibrations thing I guess.

I thought 3 - 5 years was usually pretty good for average car use considering what they are put through during winter and summer driving.
Deep cycle RV stuff totally different environment.
