To answer the OP's question, if properly maintained & lubricated, wheel bearings should still be going strong long after the rest of the car is a rusted rotting hulk. In my 35+ years of driving, I only had a wheel bearing fail once - it was in a '73 Camaro, and it was due to my own incompetance as a teenage DIY mechanic.
