As long as it hasn't been damaged in any way and is taken care of, a microwave can be used for many years - my own parents are using both a standard microwave and a combination microwave/conventional oven that they've owned since 1982.

The main health hazards with microwaves are to people with pacemakers and similar type medical implants - not all microwaves are taken care of the same.

Microwave radiation itself is usually not dangerous to humans (or other living things) except at very high power levels, where it cooks flesh and thus can kill.
