How to properly maintain the brakes on a Vauxhall Astra?

I have been experiencing some issues with my Vauxhall Astra's brakes and I'm not sure how to properly maintain them. Can you provide any tips or suggestions on how to keep them in good condition?

Firstly, it's important to regularly check your brake pads and replace them when they start to wear down. Additionally, make sure to have your brakes inspected by a professional at least once a year.

Another important aspect of brake maintenance is keeping them clean. Brake dust can build up and cause damage if not cleaned regularly. Use a brake cleaner and a soft brush to remove any dust and debris.

If you notice any abnormal noises or vibrations while braking, it's best to have your brakes checked immediately. Ignoring these warning signs could lead to further, more expensive damage.
