What does mean alert message?

Hello guys,
As a beginner to MINI F60.
Is this message meaning to change the brake fluid right away?
Currently, my car condition is MINI F60 2019, 51000 miles.
The alarm is open from June.

Thank you for reading.

Brake fluid is stated to be flushed every two years. It's probably a time-prompted alert. However, ALWAYS check the level if you are ever in doubt.

That service message is to flush the brake fluid. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and will degrade as more moisture is absorbed. The keep the brake fluid in best condition it is recommended to flush it out every two years.

Be aware that the fluid level will go down as brake pads wear.
