Best Answer

Because the coolant is starting to age and is picking up contaminants.

This is normal, BUT, you want to ensure the coolant is replaced before too much longer.

I rather change coolant too soon / early than too late.

Why did the radiator overflow bottle overflow?

The overflow bottle may overflow if: 1. The car is overheating - this means after the coolant in the radiator gets heated up and expands it flows to the reserve bottle but the radiator doesn't cool down to suck back the coolant from the overflow bottle, but just keeps on sending coolant to the bottle. 2. You may have put excess coolant in the bottle - hence heated coolant from the radiator didn't get enough space.
