Fusion low brake fluid spongy pedal

My 2005 Ford Fusion with the gasoline engine has developed a worrying issue. The brake fluid level is low, and I'm getting strange feedback from the brake pedal. Any ideas? Mileage is 133941 km. Could this be worn brakes?

Summary of the thread

A 2005 Ford Fusion owner reported low brake fluid and a spongy brake pedal, suspecting worn brakes as the cause. Despite no visible leaks around the master cylinder or brake lines, the issue persisted. It was advised to consult a workshop, where worn brakes were confirmed and subsequently repaired, resolving the problem.

Low brake fluid AND pedal feedback? I had a similar experience with my Fusion. First things first: are you seeing any visible leaks around the master cylinder or any of the brake lines?

No visible leaks that I can see. Brake lines seem fine. Master cylinder looks okay, but hard to be certain. Any other thoughts?

If you're not seeing any leaks, and you're still experiencing a spongy pedal, my strong advice would be to take it to a workshop. Worn brakes are likely to blame, and if left untreated, you risk compromising the entire hydraulic system. Is it worth it?

Thanks for the advice. Appreciated. I went to the shop and they confirmed worn brakes. Cost me 480€, but all sorted now.
