Shock longevity: mileage Vs age ?

My C280 1997 has around 48K miles. (mostly on highways)
Despite the relatively low mileage it has been manufactured 10 years ago.
I wonder if this fact is relevant and how it combines with the mileage.
Besides curiosity, the reason I am asking is that I really like its ride and think of improving it to a "like new" feeling by changing the 4 shocks + steering shock.
I would hate do discover later that nothing changed and that I wasted my money.
The shocks clearly have a long way ahead. My doubt is the degree of degradation of their specs as compared to new ones.
Comments and real experience are most welcome.
Jorge
PS: My plan is to replace stock shocks for stock shocks. (no HD, Sport, lowering, etc)
