Average lifespan of a business jet?

The number of pressurizations is one factor. Something like 10,000 (that
would be 10,000 pressurizations, not hours) is getting up there.
I have recently flown a 737 with over 74000 cycles.
Is taking off, flying up to altitude, then landing, one cycle?
10 Cycles Per Day (x) ...
10 years (3,650 days) = 36,500 cycles
20 years (x) ..10 c.p.d. = 73,000 cycles
25 years (x) ...8 c.p.d. = 73,000 cycles
40 years (x) ...5 c.p.d. = 73,000 cycles
WOW!
