12 year old EDC, time to replace springs?

clean and replace recoil spring every three years whether it needs it or not.

That sound a little excessive. As long as one doesn't lock the slide open(like after shooting the last round) and let it sit for a long time, I don't see that is necessary.

OP only has about 1,500 rounds, that doesn't sound like a lot of rounds. Unless the firing spring is kept in half cocked 24/7, then maybe. Still it's not like those full cocked and locked where the spring is compressed all the way. Even that, people debate whether that matter or not.
 
My XD and daughter's G17 have several thousand rounds thru them in competition over the past decade and the springs are working just fine.
