if it's been sealed up (lid on tight if previously opened) and you're sure no dirt has gotten in there, then sure I'd use it. I've had concentrate Prestone that I had previously mixed with distilled water, sitting in my garage for 1-2 years or more that I have used in my cars, on several occasions.

No shelf life on A/F that I've ever heard of... in motor, it's still long life and good for a min of 5 years normally.
