Mostly depends on driver ability, driving style, terrain and city/highway driving.
This year the ones that stand out...
-Replaced a clutch on a '03 9-3SS 2.0 with 232k on it. Just worn the heck out. Mixed city/highway.
-Put a THIRD clutch and replaced flywheel in a lady's '03 Vert at 72k! (yes 72k) Mostly city, little highway.
-'01 9-3. Replaced clutch and flywheel because disc spring broke out of the disc and chewed everything up. Not even worn 50%, but failed around 120k.
-'03 Vert 62k. Car was stolen from a bar when the client left his key in after being talked out of driving home by friends. Disc and plate exploded, broke trans case open, broke starter hood off etc. "Yes! It chops!" haha
Teach your son how to shift well, start on steep inclines using the parking brake, and keep him off the drag strip and clutch should be fine for at least 150k mixed driving if the previous owner treated it the same.
