In your experience, how old were "they" at death in captivity when fully supported (even without UVB, which you say is essential)?
I suspect that most monitors in the wild do NOT live to any great age (for a number of reasons).

15 years in captivity is considered old, 40 year old specimens found in the wild. do your own research, its all there to be found.
Of course most monitors do not live to a great age, this is true for all animals, including humans, most die far younger than their potential, and why is that?
bad diet, lack of exercise, various cancer causing habits, changes in habitat and habits...etc
