If maintenance/upkeep of the vehicle is good, there is nothing more you need to do to keep it running for much longer. Just ensure oil change is done when due and ensure you have no leaks with the cooling system. Replace hoses that are failing.
As to the startting, I do not understand the exact situation as the explanation is rather vague.
