It will also need new tires and a suspension job once in a while, but when it comes to brakes I wouldn't really hold my breath for any component of this system to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Just look at how some trucks rely a lot on Jake-Brakes and other auxiliary brake retarders, which do improve the lifespan of normal brakes but not make them last the lifetime of the vehicle.
