Do you think I should replace the brake cables after 4,000 miles use?

You can't correlate mileage with brake cable replacement. Brake cables should be replaced when they are rusty, when any of the cable strands are broken or frayed, or when they are too crimped to reuse. In your case, you should be able to replace the housing, grease up the cable, and reuse it. However, cable is cheap and starting with a new cable may make the job a tad easier.
