My car battery was dead on the first cold morning of the year!

As I was changing it I was wondering if there was anything that I could have done to pick up that it was on it's way out. Is it as simple as measuring the voltage when the car has been at rest once in a while?

Also, the car was 6 years old and it was the original battery. So what's the average life before they need changing? It was a VW Polo.
