My experience is very similar. I bought the car at 61K miles in 2014 and the clutch failed several weeks thereafter. I then had a new clutch and slave fitted (believed to be a National set) which lasted until 107K miles (a few weeks ago).

I then had a LUK Repset kit fitted by the MG Rover Repair Centre in Wickford; hopefully that will outlast the National kit that it replaced. I changed the master cyclinder for a LUK original two years ago.

I am conscious of the need to leave the car in neutral with clutch up at the lights to reduce wear on the slave. I can't think that the puny plastic slave would fare well long term, absorbing all that rotational energy from the engine and dissipating it as heat when the pedal is depressed for prolonged periods.
