Good point. How can I tell if there is internal wear? The car does not have many mile, but is about 15 years old.
At fifteen years, just buy all new units and replace what you have. Due to water in the system over this much time, the bores will be corroded and it is just best to replace the MC's.

Remember, brake fluid is hydroscopic, it pulls moisture from the air. You need to change brake fluid every year to keep the system clean. I bet that this has not been done on your chassis. There are very few folks who do this and they are considered a bit anal.

I would also look at your brakes and clutch slave units for corrosion at this point.
