Mine's still original though the previous owner changed the clutch at around 120k which is a joke.

I think more often the problem is many people don't understand clutches so wear them out prematurely. The same poor practice will see off a DMF too.
I ruined the clutch on my first car, learned how they work and have never needed a clutch in 30 years.

They're not a consumable item in my eyes.
