The average age of all rabbits is 7 to 8 years, and 10 years isn't unusual.
However, many rabbits die at 3 or 2 or even 1 year of age, particularly through digestive problems, because their digestive systems are very long and fragile, and it's important that they are fed correctly -

And analogously, there are rabbits at the opposite extreme of the 'average' spectrum, who live up to 15 years or even older. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the oldest bunn (in Australia by the way ;) lived to 18 years and 10 months -

We personally know a breeder who had the oldest bunn we have ever known as yet, who lived to 12 years of age :-)
Here's some interesting info on rabbits and age -

How Long Do Rabbits Live

Depends on a lot of factors. Are your rabbits spayed or neutered? Unpsayed females have a very high cancer rate. Are they inside or outside. Inside rabbits can live 8-10 or longer sometimes. Outside rabbit live about 5 years.

Rabbits live an average of 5-10 years - potential life span is up to 15 years. Time to have lots more bunnies!

Depends on how well the pet rabbit is cared for, what breed the rabbit is & the genetics =
A ETHICAL & EDUCATED RABBIT BREEDER is a good place to get your rabbit from!
If treated as a member of the family & given ideal "rabbit conditions" proper diet,vet care,housing
a rabbit will live as long as he - she can :O)
it is unfair to put a definite answer as every bunny is different.

I have a spayed, 12-year old Netherland Dwarf. She lives only indoors, pretty much solitary since her buddy died 5 years ago. I heard the norm for domestic rabbits is 7 years.
