Along with maintenance (corrosion protection) comes the issue of fatigue, an issue that will significantly affect life. Every time the vehicle experiences a duty cycle the radiator grows a little bit in size due to thermal expansion and pressurization. Turn if off,it cools and shrinks back to size. Collectively this ages the unit, and as such short trips will tend to do so faster than long ones. Same idea is applicable to heater cores.
