How long should OEM shocks last?

Hi

I've just bought a 2007 NC PHRT with only 65,000kms on the clock. Was wondering what life I would expect out of the shocks (obviously not knowing how the previous owner drove and on what type of roads!)

Grateful for your thoughts.

Cheers

Oz

JBT mentioned something about this in relation to the NC recently:

As long as they're not leaking, 65k kms NC shocks would generally still be ok.

^^ What he said. If you want to reduce the body roll, Whiteline adjustable sway bars work very well set to soft at the front and mid at the rear.
