I don't think there's any visual check you can do because the entire unit is between the tranny and the flywheel.

You would need to drop the tranny to inspect it. If you're already paying for that labor, it would make sense to drop in the new clutch too.

From what I know, these clutch can wear out very quickly depending on your driving style. Normally, they last around 40k.

You can tell that your engine 'slips' a bit when you gas and doesn't give you the power you ask for when you hit the throttle. There'll be a delay, and it gets longer the worse the clutch gets until it doesn't grab at all anymore and you need a tow. At least it was that way for me.
