There's no set time or mileage. Alot has to do with weather, driving conditions as well as miles and time. The rubber boots on the outside of the CV joints is usually what gives out first, either being torn ro being ripped or deteriorating over time allowing the grease inside the boot to come out and dirt and dust to get in and the damage starts.
I have never had one go bad where the boot was still totally intact and the bearings go bad inside but I am sure it can happen.
It depends, some may fail earlier than others due to wear, deterioration of boots, etc. I would venture a guess at something like 150K if I had to, but some almost never go bad. Signs that one is broken or damaged are clicking or popping noises during turning and sometimes a clunk when accelerating. I think, as with many other things, quick lube/big-chain shops coerce people into replacing them when they are not really bad They are virtually maintenance free, unless a boot tears - it must then be repaired quickly to prevent damage to the joint.
