you mean the brake cylinder by the wheel or the one up by the window?If the wheel then the pipe is flexible as it moves with the wheel and suspension.Was there any evidence of damage which may have been cause from road debris or the movement of the wheel/suspension.When was the last service?if recent then i would have expected pipes to have been visually checked

3 out of 4 wheels should still be active. Unless the reservoir itself cracked. A pic would be good.
Checked again and the ABS unit is on the back wall not where the red circle is.In that area is the gear boxI take it they failed the car so what was the reason they recorded for the failure

As failure of this pipe causes a possibly catastrophic event, this would represent a design fault and would require a recall of all cars fitted with this component. It would not be Hyundai's policy to ever let this happen, they are trying to increase their customer base, not kill them. So I would TELL them it's a warranty job, irrespective of it being a rubber component and that you intend to complain to your safety authority, if not fixed immediately.I've never heard of a failure like this though and if it was a known weakness, then normal servicing would require replacement at a short interval and dealers would carry stock.It seems strangely coincidental that this happened during an MOT. What are the odds of this
