Depends how the car has been driven.. I dont think you can put a date to clutch wear..

hmmm, Yea its hard to put a life expectancy on a clutch...but if u got it from the dealer they should replace it for free if it was a certified pre-owned warranty.

IMO you could determind slippage by driving up a hill. put it in 4th and accelerate. If your rpms go up but you dont feel any pull, your clutch could be slipping.
Mine lasted 70K, it really depends on the driver. With mine it seemed that the engangment point moved up to the point where i barely had to touch the pedal to engage the clutch.
