Front brake fade

Was bringing the xt home from work in the good weather, all was good for about 10miles, had to brake heavily once, all good for a few more miles, then coming down hill there seemed to be nothing from the front brake.
There looks to be plenty of meat on the pads but I don't know how hold they are, there is just under 8k on the 09 plate, could be original I guess, and fluid is looking rather dark. Thinking new pads and fluid and eventually braided lines.
What's people's thoughts and suggestions on pads and fluid?
