I have had my K5iis for 5 years.
The sensor test on the camera shows no dust.
I have taken about 20,000 shots.
Should the sensor be cleaned anyway?
Thank you

No
If you want to test for dust use f16 or f22 ...point at a blue sky ...examine the pictures.
I have had 3 digicameras (DS/K10D/K1) Never had a sensor cleaned once

If it ain't broke why fix it?
If you can't see dust on your photos, and the sensor test is clear then leave well alone.

Well done on avoiding dust for so long - my cameras usually pick up a nice obvious dust spot soon after I get them (and they return after cleaning too!)
All the gear with no idea
