I've always found that they pretty much last till they break. Your guess as to when that is!!! As things age (me included) things tend to break or quit functioning.
I changed mine at about 5 years, kept the used, but still good one for a spare. That way I have a known good spare with me. Have a side radiator so it takes me longer to find the tools and remove the compressor belt than to change the serpentine one and put it back together.
