The chain was checked on my Rose yesterday - the mechanic pronounced next to zero wear.
Not bad considering it's been on for a year or so.
Certainly gives the lie to the notion Bosch bikes eat chains.
Why is it doing so well?
Hard to say, but it's a £30 Dura-Ace, so should be good quality.
The mechanic reckons one of the main reasons is the hub gear, a lot of chain wear is due to the chain scraping across the cassette on a derailleur bike.
I do give it a wipe after every ride and keep it lightly lubed.
Fairly low miles might be another factor.
I'm out quite a bit and do some decent length rides, but my mileage is divided between my three ebikes.
