Serpentine ideler pulleys

I recently purchased an adult driven,'06 9-5 sport combi, 2.3 T, auto, with 42K. It was driven on a regular basis, but was driven exclusively in stop and go driving in a metropolitan area, (St. Louis). I am assuming that the car raarely exceeded 40 MPH and spent a deceent amounbt of time idling at stoplights.
Anyway, I have read a number of posts regarding problems with serpentine belt idler pulleys and with water pumps on 9-5 models in general. I have a few questions:
1. Are the serp pulleys and waterpumps problematic for 06 models?
2. Is it reasonable to assume that with exclusive in-town driving, the remaining life of these items would be less that one would expect for a comparable highway driven car with 42K.
3. If this is true, at what mileage should I replace these itmes in an effort for proactive maintenance.
Thanks,
Dan
