Quite a bit depends on your criteria of what is "bad".

All my coax was purchased in the late 1970's and early 1980's for
HF-UHF work. I was very critical of losses at 440 MHz.

I now focus on the HF bands and find the losses acceptable.

All of my problems through the years have been at the connectors.

How many years can you expect good quality coax to last when it is out
in the sun and weather?
