Engine compartment hose question





Per CarFax, the car was serviced regularly at a Chevy dealer in Ashland, VA.
However, while cleaning the Udders, I discovered all the hoses in the engine compartment appear to be originals. Date codes indicate 11/03 and 12/03 dates. I find it hard to believe that the hoses could be 14 years old. Are the dates on the hoses the manufactured date or the design release date?
