This is only going to get worse as mileage reduces. I'd recommend at least yearly checks and relubrication.

I acquired my 940 in 2005 with 100,000 recorded miles. As usual I serviced the brakes ASAP and found those sliders seized but the rubber dust guards were sound. I replaced the sliders and the securing bolts, lubricating both the sliders and the rubbers with silicone grease. I strip, clean and lubricate my brakes annually, a habit I developed when I was running a Morris Marina. I did it’s brakes spring and autumn as it had a propensity for the rear drum brake pistons to seize. I learned from a Datsun owner that the manufacturer recommended lubricating the piston bores with silicone grease. Once I did that the pistons didn’t seize again.
