I have a vacuum tester, and I test my filter minder occasionally. So far, I haven't gotten one to fault.
Some cars just don't load very much. My Navigator shows nothing after more than 30k miles of driving in some real nasty conditions. The position of the air filter or induction seems to shy away from vacuuming up dirt. Filter still looks perfectly clean.
Airbox design vs. engine demand plays a major role in this as well. My Cummins 6.7 pulled its minder down to about the 1/2 mark since new, and is now at 3/4, getting close to full and still looks unblemished.
