Brake fluid change is usually included in 48,000 mile major service.

Any good garage has a piece of kit that checks the boiling point of the fluid, which indicates the moisture content. They take a small sample and the test only takes a couple of minutes.:behindsofa:

Or he could go down a long steep hill with 3 tons on a trailer. If the brakes fail it needs changing.
Or Gunson 77002 Brake fluid tester around £20.00.

Errr Sort of ..... It doesn't "Run" off the same res .. but has the same fluid in there

This from RAVE

Brake/clutch reservoir

(260° C) and complying with FMVSS 116 DOT 4. ° C and complying with FMVSS 116
