it will last years as long as you take care of your battery and you dont allow it to drop the voltage below 10volts.
lead acid batteries enemy is dropping its voltage below 10volts, it wont charge 100% fully if you drained it.

it's quite old enough..your battery have serve its purpose ....;) also try to check your rectifier charging..it should be More than 12V.... if it is not beyond 12V then surely your battery will definitely be drained..even if you replace it with a new One..go to your nearest electrical shop and borrow some voltage meter to make sure..or have the electrician check on it for you..

My rectifier is good enough to charge my battery...i've done check it and the voltage goes up to 12 volts and above... I'm just wondering, why every morning or right after my office hours,i can't start my engine using the push button even the water level is in upper mark...Only a kick start will do.

Is that possible? I even think there maybe a grounded wire or something causing it drain..

If there is any device that uses power even when it is off like an alarm, malfunctioning switches..or anything installed..you can think of it as the culprit..if not your battery itself is already grounded..that is the sign when leave for a long time of no activity and get drained..and
You can test the battery by just honking the horn before you start the engine ( after a long time of no activity) if the horn's is loud and strong then your battery is ok...and there's a different problem like starter system.
