Is there any bad impact on my site from "Expired" or "Broken" Inbound links?

[ryanchapman]

I just have a note that I have many back-links, unfortunately, a big ratio of them are now "expired", "webpage not available" or "broken".

So is there any cause to fear about them? I barely want to avoid them because I guess they all already rejected so no need to disavow them again.

What is your thought, please? I'm continuing on good thinking?

Broken external - outgoing links can be considered as quality signal to your users but to search engines as well. If you have many broken links across website, that will lead to conclusion that the website is not updated for quite some time.

End result can lead to rank dropping and in some cases penalization (if we are talking about excessive external linking).

Broken links and non existing websites will probably do you no harm,
but you should follow them regularly and the best way to do that is by using specialised tools,
such as

Monitor Backlinks,
SEO Spyglass and
CognitiveSEO Backlink Analysis.

I focus on leaving do follow back links on high page rank sites.

 Don't waste your time disavowing links which will naturally disappear over time. Instead, focus your energy on creating new, higher quality links to preserve the rank of your website when the outdated links eventually disappear from your backlink portfolio.
