The life expectancy for a normal healthy Scottish Fold that is not out of two folded ear parents is the same as for most hardy cats, 12 to 15 years.

A folded ear Scottish Fold has to be bred to a normal straight ear Scottish Fold. Breeding two folded ear cats together will produce kittens with serious health problems. This link does a good job of explaining these health problems with good illustrations.
