What to do about my Cisco router several years old before a disaster/failure?

My cisco 1760 is just for passthrough and has our DNS servers coded in.   The t1(full 24 channels data line) is plugged into it an then feeds my wg box where I set up al my rules and my DMZ.  This router is over six years old I'm guessing and there are no signs of issues, but...  I am concerned about what to do before this router gives out. Should I be?   I have 35 users in my FL office and 2 in WI.  The vpn ipsec tunnel is established using the wg boxes, as well as the DMZ configured and plugged into the wg hardware.  

Is ther a recommendation for the next simplest cisco router that can replace this one and the advantages?  Is it possible to utilize one of the inherited hw listed below as a backup?  Would replacing it with one them actually be in improvement in performance, etc?


The specs on this router are:
Cisco IOS:  Version 12.2(15)T8
The IOS is upgradeable.  
DRAM:  64Meg (expandable to 128Meg)
FLASH:  32Meg (expandable to 64Meg)

I also have some HW that I inherited when we moved into our new office:
-10baseT/100baseT 24 port Catalyst 2900 Series Cisco 1eth and 1 DC input             
-2600 Series Router Cisco2620  2 DSU/CSU WIC 1eth 1 console 1 aux port            
-2600 Series Router Cisco2610  1 T1 DSU/CSU WIC                        
-1720 Router      Cisco1720   1 T1 DSU WIC 10/100 eth console and aux port      
-VPN 3000 Concentrator      Cisco  CVPN3005                        
-VOIP Gateway with 8FXS ports and SIP Support MP-108a/FXS/AC/SIP (qty 2)

Thanks!

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
