Don't panic, the 'lost history' ones can be very reliable, its just an aged plastic issue, plus if it has had the top hose stat mod done this can weaken the joint where excess pressure has been applied.

Have you found the stat in the upper pipe to have a bearing on it breaking and cracking Trikey?

I’ve only found the plastic yo be an issue if it has been pushed on when the top hose stay is fitted, this can compromise the seal.

Things like pipes etc aren't part of any servicing - so one will full history would have likely done the same.
