On all my cars I remove the calipers and check and clean the pads etc as routine maintenance before the mot. Even after just twelve months it is surprising how mucky they get and benefit from a clean and lube. I also peel.back the piston boot and check the piston is clean and then dribble a couple of small drops of brake fluid - with a pipette - around the piston before winding back. It makes a big difference to the piston movement.
