Default Shocks/struts replacement?

I just purchases a 2007 LS460 that has less than 44,000 miles on it. I'm wondering if I should replace the shocks/struts since they are now about 13 years old even though the mileage is still low. Any brand recommendations would be appreciated as well.

KYB nothing else. Yours might be ok still with such low miles.
