Three years is a long time for nylon. After one month, two at the most, the basses don’t sound as good and have to be replaced. The trebles will sound okay for a few months, but they have to be replaced, too. I’m talking about sound, but you’re asking about breaking. I’m not sure because I haven't had a steel-string guitar in decades, but I think nylon won’t last as long as steel without breaking. Nylon stretches more than steel. Maybe that's why they don't last as long.
