Rat live an average a 3-4 years. When I use to breed them I did have on live for about 4.5 years (big old male, and what a good friend he was).
Another interesting fact about rats is that they are the only member of the rodent family smart enough to not bite you (Stressed point: if hand raised. aka handled often) even if you smell like food. (make sure to feed them regularly)
