Maximum number of actuations

When using any camera for timelapses we're looking at 1000s of actuations per timeplapse. Approx. 6000 for 17h or so let's say if you shoot every 10s. What's the life expectancy of a mechanical shutter under these conditions? We're propably talking about 100 timelapses or about before anything serious happens? Has anyone ever had to change/service a DSLR shutter due to mechanical issues?
