Electronic Parking Brake - preventative maintenance ?

My C-Max's EPB works fine, but makes a bit of a 'groaning' noise when applying the rear brakes.

I've only just got this car (2005 Ghia) so have no experience of what it would sound like new.

Does anyone know whether it's worth me trying to apply some lube/grease ?

I'm assuming there is a motor, some type of worm drive or rack-and-pinion, some 'stop' sensors and of course the cables that go to the brake calipers. I wouldn't want to dismantle anything as I believe they're 'set' to the car. I guess there's no risk of me upsetting anything simply by dropping it down from the boot floor and taking a peak ?
