Faulty brakes

[wrcarter]

On my mother's 94 c200 the brake pedal gets extremely hard and will not press. Generally it is fine but on the rare occasion this happens. Any ideas??

Partially siezed brake pistons? When were the brakes last looked at?

About a year ago. The car does about 15,000 a year. Didn't think it would seize when being used that much

Something intermitant on the booster, but finding it will be the hardest bit, if it was pistons it should not affect the pedal by much as it would only be one of them
