Depends on many factors! Who rebuilt it, what parts did they install, what quality of parts, how you maintain your vehicle, climate,and last but not least, how do you drive the vehicle? If you can answer all of the above, you will probably come up with a good estimation!
PS: Just to let you know "REBUILT" is the most vaguest term ever used! We think of rebuilt as taken apart cleaned, resized, and all new components! That's a joke in this country. Most rebuilts would never pass the test if that were the case! That's why I use "NEW" parts only when available or I rebuild myself knowing that it's done properly! Transmission rebuilders probably top the list for REBUILT CORRUPTION!

This also depends on what type of vehicle you own. More power means more wear to the trans. My Camaro's trans broke at 50,000 miles. But then again I am pushing nearly 400 hp and beat the crap out of my car. If it's a trans in a 4 or 6 cylinder car it will last longer. Let's assume you drive like a normal person with an average horsepower car. I'd say it should at the minimum last 100,000 miles. There's nothing wrong with rebuilt transmissions. Just take care of the car.

thats a broad question. It all depends on your driving habits good or poor, how many miles per year you drive, if you change the fluid and filters often enough when they are due, dirt roads, highway,city and stop and go. The morehighway miles the better, the more stop and go the worse. Heat destroys transmissions. So if you want the trans to last longer, then i would advise you to install a trans cooler seperate from the radiator. They are cheap and easy to install and well worth the money in the long run.
good luck and i hope this helps

A rebuilt transmission is just as good as a new one, provided the job was done by a competent mechanic. So you figure it out.

Most re builders will give a 12 month or 12,000 mile conditional warranty... but a quality rebuild should last as long as the original transmission...

Done right, same as a new one. If you bought one called a rebuilt, most of them are just used with new fluid. If you got yours rebuilt, mechanis vary from ones that make them better than new, to ones that need to be removed from the gene pool.

Depends on the way you drive.
