Not long.
Depends entirely on how and where you drive.
Last for ever if you don't touch the brake pedal
Life gets shorter the more you do
Rears last longer than fronts due to balance of braking system

On my volvos the rears lasted the same as the fronts, but the pads were significantly smaller.
Odd - I'm convinced touching the brake pedal has prolonged my life a few times.
My brother, IIRC, has had 1 set of front pads and one set of rears (due to a leaky rear cyl) in 3 years of 12-18K miles a year (gen3 toyota hilux surf), our landcruiser ('96) has had one change in 5 years (8K miles a year). Not bad IMO, neither driven meekly. My Celica goes through a set every 12 months however...
