From them it sounds more like an exception if you haven't had it replaced a number of times.
I wonder how many buy used cars though and have no idea how many pumps its had?

I rang the previous Sytner service and they were extremely helpful and gave me the whole history of my AUC.
I had a HPFP last year at about 30k.

Last week I had a service and they uploaded the new software that primes the pump when you unlock or close a door.
You can hear it whining as soon as you unlock, and again if you close a door if its not started for a while.
This is clearly to force feed a prime to the HPFP from the LP pump in the tank end.
