This is a very subjective question. Recently, Midmark Corporation stated that the average lifespan of an autoclave is seven (7) years. Pelton and Crane is out of the autoclave business. Tuttnauer, to the best of my knowledge to date hasn't made a statement.
There are many factors to be considered. Many older autoclaves were not FDA approved and did not have their chambers certified as boilers. Spare parts availability is also a big part of the equation.
I tend to look at the chamber first and work out from there.
In the past I have written several articles on older autoclaves.
