A hi-fi system can last 1 year or 10 years or more, it all depends on whether you take care of it or not, but there are still brands to avoid like Sigmatek, Peekton, Tokaï, LG, H&B, Lenco that use very fragile components often coming from Chinese or Taiwanese manufacturing. It is better to choose Pioneer, Samsung, Sony, Philips, JVC or even Kenwood if the budget is tight, Tamashi, Scott, Lifetec. But generally, if you pay attention to dusting the hi-fi system well and cleaning the lens regularly with 90° alcohol, there shouldn't be any problems, so clean CDs before playing and keep the hi-fi system out of direct sunlight and humidity, speakers about 20 cm or so away from the chassis and connections clear.

Hi, I have a Technics SC-CH404 Hi-Fi system, I’m 18 and my dad gave it to me, he bought it with his first salary when he was 20 and he’s 50 today.
It’s really super robust and of good quality because the sound is great for something so old. He hadn’t used it for I don’t know how long, so I’ve used it for my audio setup.
Indeed, it definitely needs to be dusted off before use, but the alcohol thing, I tried it without and it works perfectly, and for the rest, I agree.Hi-Fi systems are really great for connectivity, there are loads, which allows for a transition between MP3 and other audio methods like RCA and the black and red wire.
Personally, it’s indispensable for me and honestly even if it seems complicated at first glance, you quickly understand what goes where or what to put where, and if not, there are tutorials on YouTube.
Plus, it still has value and it sells pretty well; I’ve seen mine in good condition (complete with all components) for 420 euros, so if I ever were to part with it (not even in my dreams) that’s 400 euros in my pocket.
