Radiator hoses - Toyota Yaris Forums

How often should be changed? Got 114k highway miles on 2007.
They look good and still good resistance when squeeze them

Hoses seem to last way longer than they used to. On my last two vehicles, which were over 10 years old and had about 150K on them, the hoses still seemed fine. The last vehicle where one failed on me was my 1972 Plymouth Scamp.

I'm with Scott, they sound fine.
