How long since you bleed brakes? Fresh fluid every 2 years is good. Every 3 years is sorta mediocre. If it's original (7 years?) you're overdue. Same for anti-freeze.

Might be a good excuse to do a good examination of lots of stuff:
Vacuum hoses - getting old & brittle?
Brake calipers - pads getting thin & caliper pins sticking?
Suspension - balljoint rubber boots OK? Anything loose?
Axles - rubber CV joint boots OK?
Fuel & brake lines under car - getting rusty??

usually all of your required maint like timing belt trans fluid, inspections, etc will fall on the time time frame there are some things you do every 15K, 30K, 45K, 60K, 75K,90, 105K, etc

I like to do it based on time, since brake fluid keeps absorbing moisture no matter whether you drive or not.
