Rui Gigante reports that the original generator in his MGA needed brushes after
270,000 km of use! Translation: they last a long time.
Personally, I have found that corrosion is more of an issue than brushes wear.

Subject: [Mgs] How many miles should a generator brush set last?
My car (MGA with original generator/regulator) is clearly not
charging the battery, so I need to investigate the charging system.
It may be dirty contacts in the regulator, or it may be worn out
brushes in the generator. In order to know which to investigate first,
it would be useful if I knew the expected life of a set of brushes in
a generator.
Regards,
Simon
