There are companies that can sleeve them for you and rebore it, if it is badly pitted and worn. But there has to be enough meat on the casting - they won't do a lot of modern ones for that reason.

On my old Volvo 940, I just changed the seals, worked for years after that, might be worth doing the slave cylinder at the same time ?
Had one fail after 17 years, just after I've been doing warp factor 9 on the way home . . . slowed down into 30 limit, several miles later, into town, slowed for traffic queuing and whoa . . . pedal sinking to floor . . . an interesting rest of journey as the handbrake wasn't exactly in rude health . . .
So new master cylinder from a respected specialist . . . 17 mths later, pedal to floor as I pull up at the dentist . . . that was long trip home on a solid bar behind an AA van . . .
Another new master cylinder from a different, well respected, very expensive specialist . . . and touch wood . . . a good number of years later, it's still working . . . But my handbrake has been in perfect working order ever since that first one!
Unusual for them to completely fail as there's two separate circuits. Or was it an old single circuit car ?

The car's 2012 and only done 50,000. Not driven heavily, maybe 2-3 times a week. Lady owner from when it was a year old. Over on the Club Jazz forum someone suggested maybe changing the fluid before going the spendy route of a new cylinder.

I find it hard to believe it would have failed being that new unless it was a manufacturing fault or known design issue. These things are usually good for decades, even with poor maintenance. Is it a common issue on these? What are the symptoms?

You drive and you brake. Feels OK but then the pedal goes again. It'll stop in an emergency i.e foot to the floor but slow braking is the issue.
Very strange. Pedal sinking is very common but it doesn't affect the braking.

I'll come back to you when with the car later.

Ever changed your brake fluid?
It's hydroscopic and absorbs water which condenses in the master cylinder reservoir, that's what causes the pitting in components and all sorts of other problems.
Some makes of car need doing very regularly, look in your hand book, you'd be surprised how often.

I've skimmed through the bills and service history. Noted brake discs and pads, didn't see brake fluid. Will look again later.
Nope, twin circuit - I can't remember the failure mode now - whether it simply didn't pump up, or in doing so, emptied the reservoir. I deliberately mentioned my warp factor 9 drive as any lack of braking at that point would have been rather noticeable on a journey I used to make regularly.
Second one simply went to the floor.
I've had a couple of older single circuit ones fail on other cars - one stuck down the bore and failed to return, the other just wore out.
I am bemused by a couple of newer cars I have (well, okay, one of them is 2007) that simply will not get a hard pedal - always feels soft, although brakes work fine. Neither will actually sink to the floor, just feel "funny".
