Carbon Fiber Life Span...

At the end of last year's riding season, I bought this MEC Attack road bike...


The frame and fork are carbon fiber...


This is the first and only carbon fiber bike to come my way. I did take it out for a short and bloody cold ride, before putting it away for the winter (storing inside to avoid freezing but not sure if I need to do so - anyone?)...


What a nice ride quality and I immediately decided the bike would be a keeper (that is saying something for me). That said, while doing some research about the bike (think it is of 2012 vintage), I read that carbon fiber frame/fork sets have a life span of about ten years. The bike appears to be in excellent little ridden condition. None the less, should I be worried? Thanks.
