Actually in Morrowind most Telvanni are somewhat amused and a bit exhasparated with 'young' Master Aryon (the youngest member of the Telvanni council, barely more than a thousand years old). Neloth himself is on the council and is older than Aryon.

Telvanni Mage Lords in general are known for their immense skills with magic and seeming immortality from age. So going by some of the examples set forth in the games I'd say that your average altmer could 'probably' live for about a thousand years, dunmer and bosmer a bit shorter than that, one of the reasons for why the Tribunal is so powerful is that a large amount of Morrowind's population can still rember seeing their miracles first hand (and we're literally talking thousands of years of history here).

I'd say your average 'mer' could prob live between four to eight hundred years and still die in relatively good shape as long as they take care of themselves mind you (proper food and other such factors that plays a part in someone's longevity) a poor peasant and the like would probably be fortunate to get a few hundred.

Just my thoughts
