GLA Hybrid Brake Issue Resolved

My 2022 Mercedes GLA hybrid has a brake system warning light illuminated and the brake fluid is low. The brake pedal feels spongy. I checked for leaks around the master cylinder and wheels, but found nothing. Could worn brakes be the problem? The vehicle has about 61607 km on it.

A spongy brake pedal and low brake fluid often mean there are hydraulic brakes system issues. I drive a GLA and had a similar experience.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't had a brake inspection recently. When you had a similar experience, was it also due to worn brakes, or could there be other causes?

In my case, it was worn brake pads. Considering the symptoms and the mileage on your vehicle, it's likely. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop for a brake inspection.

I took the vehicle to a workshop for a brake inspection. The worn brakes were the cause, like you thought. The total repair cost, including new pads and fluid, was about 480€. Thanks again for your help!
