You're partially right.

Cars these days are designed to last 100,000 miles. I learned this in one of my design classes. It revolves mostly around bearings, and trying to keep costs down. Designing for 100,000 miles is cheaper than designing for 200,000 miles, so in order to keep costs down, they cut as many corners as possible.
