Default Shutter Endurance of K20D

Recently I bought a used Pentax K20D, which has shot 13,000 shots. I want to know the shutter endurance, the guarenteed maximum number of shots of this camera.
Can anyone help?

There is no guaranteed maximum. The shutter mechanism is rated at 100,000-150,000 actuations. But that is an average, so it could be sooner or later or never or even at 15,000.

Long story short, you don't have to worry about it unless you are a pro taking 100's of shots per day.
