Peugeot 206 Low Brake Fluid

Hi, my 2012 Peugeot 206 (gasoline engine) has a weird issue. The brake fluid level is low, and I'm getting strange feedback from the brake pedal. Could it be just worn brakes after 169200 km?

Low brake fluid and strange pedal feel? Sounds like a brake system issue alright! When was the last time you had your brake system inspected? Could be something as simple as worn pads, or perhaps something more serious like a leak in the master cylinder.

A leak in the master cylinder, you say? I haven't seen any warning light, but is there a way to confirm that without taking it apart?

No warning light doesn't mean it's not the master cylinder. It could be a minor leak. Either way, with those symptoms and mileage, get a proper brake inspection. Could be dangerous to drive like that. Probably time for a fluid replacement too, while they're at it.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Took it to the shop; turned out my worn brakes were causing the issue. Total repair cost was 480€. Appreciate the quick diagnosis!
