last leg
Journey's closing segment
Last leg refers to the final stage of a journey, process, or effort: We're on the last leg of the trip.
The phrase often implies near completion.
Separately, on its last legs describes something worn out and about to fail—a dying appliance, a failing business, an exhausted person: That old car is on its last legs.
