Approximately time in half a year, having lifted the car, check all flexible hoses connecting steel tubes of hydraulic contours to brake mechanisms of wheels for existence of cracks, signs of damage of a protective cover, traces of leak of liquid, swellings and other damages.

At identification of any doubtful signs the suspected hose is subject to replacement.
