Nope.

No, there's no light that tells you that you need a brake jog. There's a warning device on the brake pads that will cause them to squeal when they need replacing. The Maintenance required light in most instances is telling you that you need to change the oil/filter.

No. The best way to treat the problem is to have an annual visual brake inspection - they are free wherever brakes are repaired. As a quick idea of the amount of wear, check the brake fluid level (and never let anybody top it up outside an actual brake service). If the level is low - near the low mark - the pads are worn.
