Hard to say. Society is changing.

Cars from the 70's really took a beating by the time they reached 100,000 to 150,000 miles.

Many "modern" cars can reach 200,000 miles with hardly needing a tuneup.

There's some good stuff, and some bad stuff on the market. Plus, maintenance varies.

So much stuff today is designed to toss rather than repair. But, perhaps that has been true for quite some time. There have been some really cheap bikes made in the past.

And, of course, some disposable items have far too short of a lifespan.
