Quick rear rotor question
[align=left]The degregation of the fluid is slow, you won't really notice a difference as time goes by, but when you put new fluid in it should make a big difference.

And those are not incredibly hard to find models, you can see them walking all over the place.

About the brake fluid, it absorbs moisture over time, and while the brakes may work fine, the moisture in the system may corrode inside the metal parts. When I did mine, I believe the fluid was of original, means no one bothered it for 12 years. As I flushed/bled the system, I saw what looked like a paste gunk coming out of the right-front bleeder screw.
The braking performance may be ok, as long as you don't do a lot of hard braking in hot weather or on steep downhill. But some countries make it mandatory that you replace the fluid or they won't let you pass the inspection. I think it was every 2 or 3 years in Japan, I'm curious about the situations in different countries.
Good day,
