I agree on the above, you have fixed all the common issues so it should be Ok to keep.
So we hope. Lol
Recently I've noticed the brake light in the dash come on when I speed up... And my rear brakes squeak when I'm driving even if the ebrake isn't engaged. It almost sounds like the rotors aren't even because it isn't a continuous squeak.

I suppose they aren't major issues but it adds on to my headache.

The brake light upon acceleration is more than likely just low brake fluid. Even if it doesn't appear to be low, it can trigger when the fluid shifts when you accelerate.

Low brake fluid usually = time to change brake pads. As the pads wear the fluid level in the master cylinder drops... most people just keep topping it off until it comes time to install a nice set of thick, new pads. Then they press the caliper pistons in during install and wonder why brake fluid spews out all over the engine bay.

Which could also mean it's time to check your brake pads.

But my brake pads are new, I just replace them about 3 months ago.
