I tend to get at least 600km or so from my normal road Saucony Jazz (not the fashion version of the Jazz) before the cushioning goes. I could probably get more out of them but it's not much longer after that that the tread starts to go. (See below, although this was after months of wearing them as casual shoes.)
For trail shoes I'm expecting at least 900km. The tread will last forever but it'll be the cushioning that goes first. The new trail shoes feel very bouncy, you don't notice the cushioning slowly going when you wear the same pair(s) each run.
It's entirely personal, some people get thousands of km out of a single pair and patch them up with duc[kt] tape for the extra aesthetics.
