Yup I bought my car in Nov 2010 with 50k miles on it, have 60k now. The previous owner changed the oil around 12 to 15k miles and the car sat for years sometimes barely being driven. BUT it is a 2000 'S' with a DOUBLE row and when I replaced it, well it was like brand new.
If you have a single row and you are concerned about a blowout then just replace and never worry again. Trust me it works. Enjoy what Porsche is good at, making a fun driving machine.
I also had and recently sold a 2007 with low miles, I never worried about the bearing for a minute, I figured the odds of the bearing blowing up were much less than the car being totaled be some careless driver or me doing something stupid.
To the OP enjoy and don't worry, just drive defensively to avoid the higher risk possibility of having a wreck
Cheers.
