how long can a roller bearing on a car last 5000 to 10000 or more miles or less or does it depend on the load
the happiest people in the world dont have the best of everything, but make the best out of everything they have

I would think a roller bearing should last for five hundred thousand through a million miles at least.

It is not a matter of miles , like any other piece of mechanical equipment it will last however long it will last . Car owners keep track of this because wheels are expensive , but with cars being inspected every few days and detectors everywhere there is no real need to set a removal date . But heavy use will put more wear and tear on the bearings .
