How To Diagnose A Torn Rotaror Cuff?

I suspect I have had a torn rotator for quite some time now. We re talking years but I m finally considering persuing getting it checked out and repaired. Will an MRI reveal exactly how old the injury is if I were to say it recently happened vs saying it has bothered me for a long period of time?
