Default Rear Wheel Bearing AP1

How long does the rear wheel bearing on the AP1 last?

Too many variables to answer that.

Definitely too many variables there. Mine were still good at 150,000 with most of its life being an autox car/track day toy. Only replaced because I changed hubs. Friend had a bit more mileage and he had a bad bearing. Some failed much sooner. It can vary a lot on any car.

Yep, pretty much this. I have had cars where one front bearing failed at 80,000 miles and the other is still fine at 160,000 miles. Just too hard to tell.

Climatic conditions in the Pacific islands will influence how long things like bearings and the car body itself. Note all the rusted out UK cars.

I replaced all my wheel bearings at around 300,000 miles. Lots of highway miles.

I had to replace a rear wheel bearing when I bought my car with ~58k miles. I don't know how long it was bad.
