The offical status is after 10 years old the tanks should be retested.
In the UK there is no requirement for retesting and the UK body will register conversions with tanks way over ten years old.
Provided the tank looks clean there is no reason to replace
With that said tanks fitted outside exposed to grit and teh weather can rust through and be leaking within 3/4 years. I have had to replace a few tanks that have rusted through and started leaking. The factory paint on tanks is not enough for outside tanks. I always add extra rust protection
