Yes, my wife took one 1990 Camry to 250k miles without ever touching the wheel bearings, and we had another 1990 Camry that used up two in the space of a year around 140k miles. So it really depends. These are not really a greasable/repackable bearing so there is no service required unless they are causing you a problem or fail inspection due to excess play.
