TPMS sensors age?

At 115K, It is time for a new set of tires on my C-Max. According to the CarFax report this will be it's third set but I cannot find any info on whether the TPMS sensors were ever replaced. Is there any way to  find if the sensors are OE or have been replaced by looking at the sensors when old tires are off? Car is a 2013 with a 12/12 build date. I really don't want to waste $$s unneeded on new sensors or have to replace them in a few months. Last set of tires was replaced 4yrs ago [via CarFax]. The last thing I need is a car warning light telling I need to do something, [had 2 ex-wives that did that for 35+yrs]. THANKS for the read.

Sorry I missed this question until now!  Sometimes Ford parts have FoMoCo on them to tell you they are OE vs aftermarket, (sometimes).   There are tools that can check the battery health on the sensors, although I am not sure how accurate they are, sometimes you have no choice but to take your chances either way.  If the tires have worn down to the wear bars or close then I would just have them replaced, (what I personally did when I needed new tires).
