Default road bike wear and tear distances??

Hello,
Just woundering what the standard is on replacing road bikes is
Here is what i have found myself so far:
tyres: 4,500km
wheels trued: 2,000km
new chain 4,000km, as LBS said i will need a new back sprocket at
8,000km, so if i change my chain now slightly early it will be ready
to change agian when the back cog is ready.
handle bar tape: 3,000 km but it depends how hot and hilly.
rims?
pedals?
Cleats?
elbow pads on aero bars?
cables?
brake pads? 30% hills, and 80% of traffic light action.
seat?
frame?
forks
whole bike? does this depend on how you ride/ what you ride on/ amount
of hill climbing/ amount of sh1ty roads?? What is the worst everyday
treatment that will age a bike the quickest? potholes?

How many km's do you do per week/ per year?
