According to the National Automotive Radiator Service Association, the leading cause of roadside breakdowns is cooling system failure.  This is because glycol-based antifreeze chemically breaks down over time to form glycolic acid that reduces the pH of coolant, and causes corrosion in the radiator, heater core, water pump, and coolant passages. 

Chemical degradation of coolant is significantly accelerated in vehicles that are driven irregularly, or stored for extended periods of time. High-mileage vehicles are also particularly vulnerable to the same type of damage, as inhibitors in antifreeze are depleted over time. Antifreeze inhibitors also combine with impurities in water and tiny rust particles to form abrasive gels that damage water pump seals, and reduce coolant flow through radiator tubes.  Over time, these coolant gels will bake on to the metal surfaces inside the cooling system to form scales and deposits that significantly reduce heat transfer, and eventually cause overheating.
