I can't assert any numbers but I'd say most mer would live something like 200 years tops, based on how much stuff old mer npcs usually know. I'm still looking for the source on this but Dunmer are said to live long even when compared to other mer, so if I had to assume I'd say most Dunmer would have a lifespan of 250 or 300 years tops. Mages, on the other hand, are a whole new thing; through the use of magic (we don't know specifics but these things usually hint at some sort of necromancy) powerful mages probably can indeed live a thousand years or so (Neloth was already an old master 206 years ago, or just have a look at Mannimarco; who was around from the 2nd era until the end of the 3rd). So yeah a powerful Dunmer mage would probably live a heck of a lot of time, if they were willing and capable of doing the necessary "stuff"
