When a tyre punctured with a 3 cm hole, the mechanic patched it with a round patch on the inside tyre wall. How long can this type of patching last?

What do you mean by "tyre wall"? You mean sidewall? --> patching sidewall is super no no as stresses is the highest on the sidewall. Chances of failure is relatively high.

If its on the tread & done properly & properly inflated , tire should be able to withstand till its end of life.

Thank you for your reply.
Not the side wall. Wall behind the thread.
Will the glue get dried up and leaks again?

Sorry, I do not really understand what is the "wall behind the tread"

But anyhow usually glue should last at least 3-5 years. Hence you should always make sure you check and maintain proper tire pressure.
