Expiration dates on water are more about the plastic leeching in than water going bad and I've seen anywhere from 6 months to 2 years from manufacture.

Bottled water sucks and should minimized to when it is really needed but this water is likely fine as you said

Itv is probably fine if in a climate controlled environment.

Leaving it out in a hot car is probably the biggest risk

Despite the scary rhetoric, PET is fine to reuse and doesn't degrade in a way that's very bad for you.
