I was under the impression that Eheim pumps (although not officially) had a MTBF in that range...

I used Eheim pumps in fishtanks for more than ten years continously without even changing the impeller and/or impeller bearings.

I also have a Eheim canister pump/filter from 1965 that still runs strong (although it needs a drop of oil every 1-2 months on the motor bearings )
