Not paranoia, just recognition that the braking performance will deteriorate, and that ultimately the ABS or PSM systems may not function as designed when you needed them most, and that eventually you will be in for some costly repairs that could have been avoided....

If you are not into doing the scheduled maintenance (routinely flushing the system is common practice in many OEM maintenance schedules these days), that’s fine, it is your car after all. But at least test the brake fluid once a year; you just might be surprised at what you find………….
