    Well every car has wheel bearings that experience all those same conditions and last hundreds of thousands of miles. Brake calipers can also stop functioning, rubber lines can plug up, people can never change their pads and rotors.

      Wheel bearings are generally sealed and so last well. Brakes tend to be easier to access and so don’t last - but it doesn’t matter because they typically wear enough before salt/dirt gets them that they will be replaced as part of normal maintenance.
