The apparent reason for K&N's killing mafs is the oil that is used to coat them. It gets sucked in and coats the fine wire inside the maf sensor and makes it not able to respond as fast to air flow changes / temp changes.
It's anyone's guess as to how likely or how frequently that actually happens though. I had a similar "K&N Replica" filer kill a Maf in my corsa.. Serves me right really, shouldn't have been trying to make a 1.2 sound good...
And yeah you have one of the very first. I have a T reg one as well starting in T58. It was a show room car for the first 5/6 months or so according to the log book haha.
