A radiator should be replaced if it shows signs of significant corrosion, leaks, or frequent overheating issues that can't be resolved through repairs. Additionally, if the radiator is more than 10 to 15 years old and the vehicle is experiencing cooling problems, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continually repairing it. Regular maintenance checks can help identify radiator issues early on.
