You can get lucky with brake and clutch fluid; my wife's car had the same brake fluid for 12 years and 230K km and it was fine until the day she sold it. But when changing it on a bike is so easy and at only €5 per 500ml it's a no brainer. My Triumph Daytona fluids had not been changed in a while by the previous owner and the rear master cylinder and caliper were wrecked. The cost to fix it back up was a good hit on the wallet and could have been easily avoided, especially as there is no ABS, and a full bleed is a 10-minute job.
