I would say depending on the quality of their breeding if well taken care of they should live at least around 2years. Females kept in with males and giving birth constantly will probably live shorter lifespans than males or females that aren't constantly having fry.

I am new with these type of fish & only have a few in my planted tank, but from what i've heared, they adapt well & have lots of fry. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

So i got a pregnant female and when she had her babies i kept them and they and their offspring did very well. The ones i bread have lived for almost a year, and they seem to be doing quite well. Good luck with your fish! †Aquapickle†
