Some of the long haul airframes clock up some big hours over a 10 year period....
TBH until recently a ten year old Longhaul airframe would in the eyes of many be regarded as only just "run in", and compared to it's short haul brethren would have diddly squat cycles - though I accept the specific airframe in question here may have issues due to it's previous time at Blagnac.

As others have said there are plenty of high hours machines around, the trick is keeping them in good condition from a passnger POV.
