I believe the service manual calls for the dampers to start getting checked regularly for wear at 60,000 miles.
The things that matter most for damper life are how hard they're being worked regularly. Loading the car up with extra weight (bigger wheels, passengers, cargo, etc), crappy uneven roads (especially potholes), and the stress of racing or spirited drives will exacerbate the rate of wear. And if you baby it on flat and smooth roads, maybe they'll last 100,000 miles or more.
The car is new enough that there's not a lot of data about longevity from cars that have added a lot of miles in just a few short years. And let's be honest here...we who inhabit the forums are far from average users, either babying our cars or modifying/racing them, so we are basically both ends of the spectrum with very few "average" users in the middle, so our experiences may make answering this question a lot harder.
