I have my own ideas on this topic, including routes that have not been seen for over 1 year. You may always miss the routes that are not 'seen' on the public internet though. I'm still reminded of the question on the internic forms in early 90s about "will you be connecting to the internet" when asking for address space.
Do the internet route registries exist to track routes that are not to appear on the public internet? I think not. There should probably be an attribute provided for such objects, however, that would indicate "This route does not appear on the public internet". If not tagged like that in some manner, and a matching route does has not appeared on the public internet at any time during the past 6 to 12 months, then I would consider the registry object to be defunct.
