Mines similar to you're own with 32000.....i was also thinking antifreeze,gearbox oil and brake fluid and maybe the serpentine accessory drive belt.
I'm just going to gather the parts up and do them at my leisure.

It's a generic service schedule so it covers all Toyota models which makes it quite confusing. I've got a similar issue with my Golf.

Inspection of the radiator is not included in Toyota service schedule.
From my experience I suggest you check the radiator condition before changing the coolant.
Many car service schedules specify brake fluid change every two years, irrespective of mileage, as the fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time.

I did an 11 year old service on mine last year, and did the obvious oil change along with brake fluid change and gearbox oil change.

Plan on doing coolant change with this year's service.
