Mines a 2004 model.
Every year I remove the pads, push the pistons out a touch and thoroughly clean using brake cleaner (I don't fancy using WD40).
Once I've got em all nice and clean, I give the pistons a smear of Red Rubber Grease and stick the pads in. Give the brake fluid a wee bleed and she stops again like new. And I've still got the rubber hoses fitted.
Don't spend the money on the seals unless they really are focced.
