Problems:

Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to operate. Leaks can cause a loss of brake pressure and reduced braking performance.
Brake pad wear
Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking.
Abs sensor issues
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail or get dirty, leading to malfunctions in the braking system.
Brake rotor wear
Brake rotors can become warped or worn over time, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder is a critical component in a hydraulic brake system and can fail, causing a loss of braking power.
Hydraulic hose damage
Brake hoses can get damaged or deteriorate, leading to leaks and a drop in brake performance.
Vacuum pump failure
Some hydraulic brake systems use a vacuum pump to assist with braking. Failure of this pump can lead to reduced brake effectiveness.
Brake booster failure
The brake booster helps increase the force applied to the brakes. If it fails, the driver may experience a harder brake pedal and reduced braking power.
