New Intercooler? V70-XC70 2006

Hi folks,

My car is an XC 70 AWD of 2006. 300000 Km

Today, I removed the condenser because it needs to be replaced.
When I removed it, I found out that the radiator has a very small leak, so I simply decided to continue and remove it too.

It took some time, but it is now ready for disposal.

Now my question:
the intercooler seems to be fine, but it has never been replaced, like the radiator, 17 years old.

I always go for Nissens when it comes to aftermarket radiators/condensers etc. and of course, the intercooler is also made by them.

The reason why I am asking this question is because I do not know how frequently they fail.

The risk is clearly that when it fails, I will have to re-do the disassembling of today from scratch.

The car is in good shape, it is used by my wife, home to school and back, 15 Km/day.
Sometimes we do long trips, like 5000 Km, all highway.

I really would appreciate your advice on this one.

Thank you!
Alex
