Brake Fluid Check.

Full Stop.

Everything may look fine, but a water content of just 3% will change the boiling point of your brake fluid, making braking less responsive and feeling spongy.


You don't want to go the distance when you need to stop.

Do you know that your brake fluid needs changing? And...

  • Brake fluid is a vital part to your safety as any of the other parts in your braking system.
  • Over time brake fluid absorbs moisture which will lower its boiling point.
  • With a lower boiling point, inefficiencies will creep into your braking system which could eventually cause your brakes to fail altogether.
  • If your vehicle does not have safe brakes you can be fined £5,000 in the Magistrates Court, more in the Crown Court and in the event of a fatal accident you could even face imprisonment.
  • Saying that you thought you had maintained the braking system by servicing your vehicle at the appropriate service intervals is not an acceptable defence.
  • Brake fluid absorbs air and moisture over time resulting in inefficient braking and eventually brake failure.
  • With the introduction of Corporate Manslaughter, Corporate Homicide and Health and Safety Legislation your duty of care to your employees and others could cost you 10% of your average annual turnover or more if there are aggravating factors.
  • Mercedes-Benz recommends that the brake fluid in your vehicle be renewed at least every two years.
