Possible use of wrong brake fluid, recently or at some point in the past? For example, even a trace of Citroen brake fluid in the system could cause eventual MC seal failure.
We found this out the hard way, after we had to change the master cylinder in Louise's old AX several times in a couple of weeks. Turns out the Citroen AX doesn't use Citroen brake fluid. We'd bought a bottle of fluid at the same time as the new Master Cylinder, and recommended by the motor factors. The can of brake fluid just said "suitable for most Citroens" - no actual application list, so we'd taken his word (and catalogue lookup) that it was the right one. TonyV.
