I suspect both time and mileage influence how long the battery will last, but I suspect that it's mostly time. Although it may have spent more time being parked than driven, it's still being drained while the car is off and recharged after you start it so the mileage may make very little difference. Mine also lasted 5-1/2 years and I was actually able to hear the slight reduction in cranking speed just before it was ready to fail. I then pulled the ECU fuse to test it by cranking the starter and it only cranked it for 10 seconds. I replaced the fuse, let it rest a bit to get it restarted and drove straight to Wal*Mart for a replacement at $99.
