When your fujifilm x100vi is most likely to develop issues, based on community repair data and manufacturer patterns.

The most common failure types, sorted by when they typically appear.
Lubricant from the lens focus mechanism can migrate onto the aperture blades, causing them to become sticky and sluggish. This is a known issue across the X100 series. Sticky blades cause inconsistent exposure and slow aperture response.
The fixed 23mm f/2 lens front element has a multi-layer coating that can wear from improper cleaning (shirt sleeves, dry wiping). The X100VI's pocketable design encourages casual handling. Once coating is worn, flare and ghosting increase significantly.
The integrated leaf shutter in the fixed 23mm f/2 lens is a complex mechanism with multiple thin blades. Leaf shutters have lower actuation ratings than focal plane shutters (typically 50,000-100,000). The X100VI's popularity means many units see heavy daily use.
