This Thread makes me a little interested in the subject. I have already posed the question to DJI Customer service and they don't have any recommendations available. But propellers as well as batteries are the first items which come to mind for having a limited life.
One might just do a propeller change ever 25-50 flight hours as a precautionary measure (a $20 set of props vs a $1500 drone make this an enticing proposition for preventative maintenance). Li-Po batteries typically can do about 700-1000 charge cycles before replacement is needed and, with proper care, will probably outlast your drone's realistic service life (the time between now and your upgrade to a newer, more advanced aircraft). Motors will probably depend on how extreme or harsh of an environment the aircraft routinely operates in.
Any thoughts?
