32,000 hours isn't really a lot, but it depends on how the machine ran during those 32,000 hours. I have some that are going on 70,000 hours on the original bearings and seals, and they run as well as a brand new machine.

7,000 starts in 10 years (assuming it has run since it was new in '02) seems a little high, especially for an AFD machine. It's impossible to tell, though, because we know nothing about how the chiller was applied.
