Well, it’s hardly been anywhere in the past 14 years, so I am surprised that the brakes work at all!
If it were mine, I would remove the pads and insert a scrap of hardboard (or similar), in their place and operate the brake pedal to get the pistons moving out, then push them back in and repeat a couple of times. The pads can be given a de-glaze with some abrasive paper, and replaced in position.
A road test on a quiet road should then show whether they are still defective or not. If still not quite there, get some heat into them first….drive at a steady pace and gently apply the brakes a few times to warm them up then accelerate to about 40 mph and apply brakes firmly to get down to about 10 mph; immediately repeat this process about 4 or 5 times, then drive without braking for about 10 minutes. That’s a process to use whenever brake pads are changed to get them to bed in properly.
Good luck.
