On average a crown could last about a few years or a decade. However, it could last even longer, spanning over decades. The crowned tooth is still a natural tooth so it could still have normal teeth problems like dental decay, root caries, and even gum disease. So, a crowned tooth must still be taken care of, and periodically checked to ensure that the cement is still intact, leaving no gaps for bacteria to enter under the crown causing damage to the underlying tooth structure.
