Not joking, it's not a rare occurrence.

Can't go by the mileage or the calender on this one. Clutch longevity is all about the driver and use of the car.

A highway driven car with a good driver might not ever need the clutch to be replaced.

On the other hand, a clutch can be fried in minutes if you know how. Drag racing is really bad for a clutch. Beginners and drivers that are afraid to fully engage the clutch quickly at each start will also shorten it's life sigificantly.
