I'd certainly not recommend a good running a/c system have the receiver dryer replaced just because... however, IF there are leaks or if the system is ever found empty needing a recharge, I'd recommend a leak search and repair, THEN a new dryer. and of course anytime any component in the refrigerant system is replaced, a new dryer should be installed. as mentioned, mobile a/c systems are not hermetic, so they do accumulate moisture over the years. but if the system is cooling well, and has not needed refrigerant added, then no, I'd not change the dryer.
