I don't believe that there is such a thing as average where clutch life is concerned. My own experience follows.
At 205K miles I had to replace the transmission on my 2000 9-5 due to an accident that cracked the transmission case, broke a motor mount and axle. The Tech volunteered that I could replace the clutch and pressure plate. I did; the clutch wasn't even half worn.
The point of the above story is to share how dramatically different "average" can be based upon individual circumstances. I drove the 205K miles almost exclusively on the Interstate traveling to DE and MA constantly.....to the tune of 50K miles/year. My first front brake pads were at 100K miles, the rears at 200K miles.
IMHO....even if we did calculate the average life of a clutch based upon all of the different ways that we use our cars.....the number would be a meaningless predictor of what your unique experience might be.
