Comparing Miele's own models
Miele makes 20 ENERGY STAR certified freezers; this one ranks 12 of 20 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the FNS 7794 E at $66/yr, and its priciest, the F 2911 Vi at $102/yr.
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.
Shopping for a new one
The Miele F 2671 Vi runs above its category average. If the freezer you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $86/year every year.

Protecting what you have
At $86/year just to run, a freezer is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
Sourcing
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 457 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Freezer category page shows all 658 freezers ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
