Battery Life

My '99 Ford Ranger 4.0l with 125K miles has had the same battery since I bought the car used in 2003. It has a Motocraft Battery which is normally used as Ford OEM. I am not experiencing any battery problems at this point but even if the battery was replaced at the time I bought the truck in '03, that's still almost 8 years ago. There's also the probability that this battery was the original factory installed but nonetheless, would it be prudent to go ahead and replace this battery now although it's still working good. Open circuit voltage is 12 and maintains 13 volts while driving.
