Hi,
It is natural to think the lifetime is linked to both age and kilometers, but also driving style / usage. Also fluid cleanliness would be a factor.
It is annoying that part numbers doesn't seem to be stamped on the unit, but on mine there is a sticker on the reservoir with the PBR number: B227-109. It also have a few digits stamped at the front and the side, such as mine has 'FE' stamped at the front, and '29D4' stamped on the top of the valve on the side. My SY is a May08 build, so it would in my case be Ford number SX 2140A, and I do have DSC.
I still haven't understood why for example the later BG 2140 E that I tried, if combined with the newer booster, would not work in my car. (Brakes remained on when I tried it). The master I tried had been sitting for some years so it could have a sticky piston. I'm tempted to take it apart and check that it isn't stuck internally.
Cheers,
