I have a number of tantalum capacitors in my spares.
Is there a way to determine if these are prone to failure?

If they are of the hermetic, glass sealed, grey colored axial variety, they are much more reliable than traditional Al caps. Their main failure is a short, which sometimes happens in SMPS's. I'd just check them for capacity.

The colored, epoxy-coated variety are the infamous types.
