Worn or warped discs — discs can wear thin or warp from heat, causing vibration or pulsing through the pedal. Seized calipers — calipers can seize, causing uneven wear and pulling to one side under braking. Brake fluid — old brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing braking performance. We recommend changing it every 2 years. Handbrake adjustment — cables stretch over time. If your handbrake doesn't hold properly, it needs adjusting or replacing. Brake hoses — rubber hoses can deteriorate and crack, causing fluid leaks.
