Do you live in a particularly cold area? Are you having any overheating problems? Is the heater working?

No I live in a warm region and on average the temperature stays between 25-45 degree celcius, only once the car was heated on a highway but that was due to less coolant in the radiator. Heater is working correctly.

Do a cooling system pressure test, this will locate any small leaks, if there are no overheating problems, and no loss of coolant, all is well, for piece of mind, you can change the pressure cap and thermostat, ensure that the cooling fans are working as well.
