I'm going for a short ride in a little while to a destination nearby and I
will carefully observe if the pedal gets high and hard and if the brakes
drag, etc.

If there is a collapsed line the condition should appear relatively quickly
don't you think?  OTOH if it does not appear before the car heats up that
might be significant.

I am sometimes a sucker for easy solutions....
