Does it really need doing at two years? Probably not. But this is a subject that pops up quite often, with opposing views. Here's one from 2023:

I trust my lengthy debate with ed lithgow amused some! I have no idea how old the brake fluid in my 20yr old Audi is, which I bought 11yrs ago. As for my 45yr old TR7 with its original front calipers and discs........
Never forget the garage industry usually advises as much work as it can get away with. Also, there is no requirement for pundits on here to declare a conflict of interest.
You mean I might be a major shareholder in China Petroleum Corporation Brake Fluid Retail Holdings, and Id forgotten? 'That'd be nice.
Tis true garages have an interest in doing chargeable work, but then that applies to all maintenance, and I wouldn't advocate doing anything because a garage says so, bor getting a garage to do anything unless you absolutely couldn't do it yourself.
I advocate doing this because it makes sense to do it, because I have direct experience of dire consequences from not doing it, and because, on my car, it was trivially easy and cheap to do.
As for just about anything, I assume its significantly more of a PITA on a modern car,which will probably require ABS activation and maybe messing with dynamic stability systems
