Suggestion
Brake squeak is usually a build up of brake pad dust - perhaps your drive around town allows build up of dust, a thrash (or clean?) may blow it away...

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have noticed that when crusing around town, the brakes will squeak a little bit... Is this normal, or should I have it checked ?... Perhaps the shims that are missing... :eh!:
I had the same issue last week having spent 2 weeks just pootling in central London, however had a good blast out to the county over the weekend and they have miraculously gone quiet again!
Sure some one will be able to explain why but a bit of a thrash seems to solve it, that is provided that you still have lots of pad left??

They are not new, and I drive the car hard, but not that often, once or twice a week. No rust is nor dirt is visible.
I might want to check the pads..... But the car had a major service done only 2000km ago, so I am sure that they would have told me if the pads were due to be changed..
Mind you the noise is not loud, more a mild squeak that I do not think is very becoming..
Jester911 pretty much summed it up.
The brakes do squeel from time to time. When I fitted a new set of disks and pads last year - they were fine for a few weeks, then I went through a period of about a month when they were squeeling at low speed.
I wore through it and eventually it disappeared....
maybe take the wheels off and check the holes in the discs are not blocked, some minor maintenance is always a good idea anyway....
