Check the fronts. I have seen plenty of folks that have worn through their front discs at 30K-miles, me included. Better safe than sorry. Also, with front pads lasting about 30K-miles, think about the discs if they're less than 50%, or they might not last until your next pad change.

As to changing the brake fluid, I hadn't thought much of it. I haven't done that job as it's really cheap to have it done at the dealer.
