You definitely need to get the servicing done "by the book" on the number of years, not the kilometres travelled, as short stop-start runs are worse for a car than long highway trips. As for the Aurion, it's a great choice.
There is a problem with the VVTi hubs on the Aurion that causes the rattle you can hear. The problem for you is that the car is seven years old and long past the end of the warranty period. We have heard of other cases in which Toyota has paid for part of the cost of the repairs, so I would suggest that you approach Toyota for a similar deal.
Convex mirrors are not unsafe, they just need the driver to take a different view.
The replacement hose addressed the problem, so it shouldn't happen again, but it's not possible to say that it won't. If you feel uncomfortable about it you could get the later oil pipe fitted to your car.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, but I would monitor it and if it does get worse I would take it back to the dealer and have them repair it.
We haven't had any other reports of a failure of the VVTi hubs, but perhaps other readers might tell us of any failures they've had. The outcome you've managed to achieve is a reasonable one.
Both have timing chains so there's no requirement to service them.
