Lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for freezers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.
Weighing a replacement
Efficient as certified freezers go, $57/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
A freezer like the Beko BUFR2715WH is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
