There is no cost effective way to inspect the IMS for wear. Many people change oil frequently and look at the used oil filter for metal flakes, which typically precede IMS failures. The IMS Guardian detects metal flakes in real time, which improves the odds of detecting a failing bearing before it fails totally and destroys the engine. But there are no guarantees.
Peace of mind comes by installing the IMS Solution or the IMS Retrofit. The cost in the US is roughly $1700 and $750 dollars respectively plus labor. In your case, there probably isn't much value in updating the clutch.
BTW: light use is more risky than heavy use.
