| Aug 17, 2019 at 8:43 | comment | added | fixer1234 | Close voters: this has attracted a number of close votes based on the question being unclear or opinion based. It is neither. This is completely and factually answerable. It is asking about the nature of MTBF and whether it can reliably be used to predict life expectancy. It isn't asking people to predict how long the OP's parts will last. Please read the question carefully and if you think it has issues, identify them and we can fix them. | |

As a number, it only indicates the average life expectancy of the device, but in reality said device could last 1 hour, or many hours longer than the MTBF. | |
