Other than mileage, what technique can I use to determine the health of a water pump? My temps are fine. I don't hear a noise from the engine. I have 56k miles.
Is this purely proactive maintenance or can you determine when to replace?

I think it is a proactive maintenance item. If your car has its original water pump and antifreeze, I would change the pump and the antifreeze. The antifreeze is supposed to last forever but 13-14+ years is a long time. And the composite impellers eventually may start throwing off chunks of blade due to failure from repeated heating and cooling cycles.
