Alternators seem to be very reliable in the X-Type. You don't hear a lot about people needing to change them. How long they would last is very hard to say depending on how the car is used, the climate it lives in, how well general maintenance is kept up, etc. It is more likely you would need to replace the battery cables than the alternator. If you do a search on here about that you will get a better understanding of that.

I did replace the alternator in my previous 04. That was at 80k miles. But in hindsight that was probably the battery cables. The new alternator was a O’Reillys part and never worked well. I eventually had to dish out money for a OEM
