What is the lifespan of a good SS Amp


Consider to go for a used SS Amp.
Around 4-5 years old.
Wonder how long one good SS Amp lasts.
I know that some 20 yo tube amps cost more than their
original retail price and they may last for centuries
(just need tube change)
but wonder how it is with the SS.
If I go for 4-5 yo SS Amp will I be able to enjoy it for a long years or after another few years it will start giving me problems.

Thanks for your help.

I have a Harman Kardon int amp purchased in early seventies that's still operational. Pots and switches a little scratchy but if it's in the garage who cares? Had to replace an output transistor, actually one of those output packs they use on less expensive amps.
