I don't seem to remember reading here about these radiators having catastrophic blowouts like the RWD 200/700/900's radiators can. Normally they start with a slow leak in the passenger upper corner behind the hose and will give some warning. Keep an eye on that area in particular. FWIW - I replaced my 95 850's radiator last year at 16 years old and about 180k miles.

Your call. You could change it out simply for peace of mind...:)
