I change my brake fluid every year.  Some clubs, BMWCCA for example, 
require it within the last 90 days before they will let you take your 
car on the track.  Brake fluid attracts moisture which lowers its 
boiling point.  Changing the fluid is a relatively minor expense for the 
peace of mind it gives you.  Three years is probably fine if you never 
track your car.
