When I clean and service my brakes, I put the old pads back in of there's more than a few hundred miles left on them

I had to take a car back to bare metal years ago. Emptied a can of brake fluid (that I had used the previous year for topping up) onto the bonnet.
Hardly touched it and the paint was only cellulose - but about 20 years old. Complete waste of time... Spent a fortune on Nitromors.

Never reuse old fluid, its hygroscopic for a start..
old fluid will corrode brake lines, ruin calipers etc etc not worth it..
Would you reuse old engine oil??
same train of thought!!!!
5 litres of Pagid dot 4 is £20 which is a bargain imo, i always crank the cap on to make sure not moisture makes it in..

Personally, I don't see any issue with collecting clean/fresh oil from the bleed process and using it to top up the reservoir
