I bought a used mtn bike in 2011 with xtr hydro brakes and ride it at most a few times a year the rest of the time it sits in my garage. I've never done any maintenance to the brakes and they still work perfectly. I don't see why you would need to flush the brake fluid every year. Even on a car that's overkill.
