in the wild they only live to about 9 months
fancy rats live on average 2 years, 3 if they are healthy and not suspect to respiratory diseases, tumours, cancerous growths and abcess..
4 is not quite so common, just lucky.
Oldest ever to my knowledge was 7 - Guiness book of records

About 3 years in the wild, probably 5 if well looked after in a cage.

It depends on the care they receive and their genetic background. Around 2-3 years is average, though some certainly live longer.
