The reason for this is that under normal braking the only active components are the master cylinder, the pipework and the calipers.

This is you're experience (1x failed brake pipe on you're own car).
Firstly never had a pipe fail on my own car, always changed them when noticed by myself or a mot tester.
As you said you topped up you're reseviour several times, you didn't run you're system dry. Had you done do you would have experienced, like others the need for a t4 or pscan to run the abs modulator to purge the system of air. Why suggest then the mechanic is at fault and the repair cost is on him, just because it isn't the same as the one senario you encountered?
