You could contact Bosch however, I doubt they would give this info out ( or even have it handy. ) .
It is very likely the Bosch manufacturing test for most of this coming off the line is " works or not ", with a few pulled for more extensive testing.

Do you have a sense of what characteristics you are looking for?

What quantitative tests have you performed on the starter motor? This would give me some sense of what test equipment you have and how it can be applied to the solenoid testing.

It is very difficult to determine how much longer your specific solenoid will last unless you have records of number of crank cycles , length of each crank cycle and amperage draw for the solenoid coil and starter motor . You will also need statistical data from other failures to determine MTBF and where on the curve your solenoid lies.
