If you don’t care about “catastrophic failure “ like the Aricebo dish collapse you just let the run until they break.
Given they are built for hurricanes there is little reason not to run these things in non-human accessible areas until failure
Might get an extra 20 years out of one if high winds don’t catch it wrong, possibly longer but the drivetrain needs maintenance and repair occasionally so it would be a liability any time a maintenance crew goes in
And of coarse the human explorer dumbasses will probably get crushed by one at some point as well
