The tip/edge on the rubber? in the blades does last that long through use and UV degradation.
I've bought in the last 18months I have 'bought' bosch, valeo, trico and michellin for others and bought them from car parts places or usually supermarket/hypermarket with long opening times. Mixture of flat blade and usual depending on stock.
Last ones I bought for me were RAC brand flat blade wipers from B&M. Cheap at usually less than a £5 a pair. Last about 18 months, same as the expensive brands as GF uses the wipers to clean off frost, bird poo etc. The screen and wipers are regularly cleaned as I hate having poor vision.

I need new wiper blades for my Volvo. Is there a go to brand? Don't mind spending a bit extra for something that's going to last but don't want to go fancy for the sake of it. God that's a dull question.
