If you happen to be driving in town (25 mph) and happen to be looking in
the mirror when the aux coolant pump lets go, you get to see a foot wide
by 30 foot long (how long it takes to shut down) splash of coolant
behind you on the road. BTDT recently. I now have a small length of pipe
to use as a bypass stored in the car for when the new pump lets go.
It'll be about 8 years before this car needs it I figure.  Rad and
coolant pump both have let go recently, so I think age comes into it as
much as mileage (95k here).
