First, Fernehalwes has stated that Kan-E-Senna is in her late twenties. He also stated that she only appears older than the other padjals because she uses magic to make herself appear older. She apparently does this so the rest of the Alliance will take her seriously. Unfortunately, I don't have the video/post this is from.
Secondly, and I'll try to make this as spoiler free as possible, there's an ancient dragon in the Moogle Beast Tribe quest line that was friends with a moogle and an elezen (I believe it was an elezen anyways). It certainly seems like this moogle is no longer around so we can probably assume he passed on while the dragon shows no signs of slowing down. This doesn't really tell us how long moogles live but dragons certainly have them beat by a long shot.
Hmm that's interesting. I didn't know she used magic to appear physically older (I'd have thought things like this would have been revealed during msq... or has it?). Though is it really necessary? Playing through the WHM quest chain I could see that despite looking like a teenager most Padjals are well respected and the Gridanians seems unquestioningly loyal to the Padjal figures. In fact I don't rememeber a time when the padjals weren't taken seriously.Â
While we're on the subject of looking young... Despite how young Nanamo appears her people don't seem to question her authority with the exception of a few greedy subjects. I still can't see how looking young would be a problem. Master A-Towa definitely didn't seemed to have had this problem either.Â
When you mentioned Fernehalwes... you mean this guy?Â

I honestly don't remember if this dude says anything.Â
As for Moogle lifespan in comparison to Dragons, I never doubted that Dragons are the longest lived race in Eorzea. Though I speculated that Moogles might be a runner up in being the 2nd longest lived race. As for your example, that's interesting to hear. I haven't done the beast tribe quests for Moogles so I'll look forward to that. Was it ever specified if that moogle passed away from old age?Â
Unlike other races they don't seem to look any different despite ageing (eg.facial hair, noteable signs of old age). Even Moogle Kings seems to look relatively young albeit they are significantly larger than normal moogles. It's just a random speculation I had while questing through moghome, Moogles appeared to be rather lazy and very carefree about their surroundings as if they had all the time in the world to get things done at snails pace, or forget about it and come back to the problem next year. I got the impression that their behavior and mannerism was the result of living for a very long time/has a lot more years to live (compared to mortal races on Eorzea).
