Frame life

That's a very subjective question. How hard was it ridden, is there any damage, how good are the threads, was it tapped faced and reamed when it was new, how current of a derailleur hanger does it use...
All of those things can contribute to the wearing out process of a frame.
Wear on a frame can be hard to see and even harder (close to impossible) to gauge. There are just way too many factors that are so very far from your control.
A cliche would go 'spend more time riding and less time worrying'
Hope i've helped you out some.

That's like asking how fast will it go. The answer is 7.
No but seriously that's not too terrible of a frame for pure xc. That was the first bike I really rode and its still the backup/loaner bike for our group. It went from having the ****ty dicks sporting goods components (low level shimano) to having all x7/fancy wheels back to now having random crap from the parts bin.
