Depends if you trust the garage. I'd have thought a bleed of the system first to be able to claim it was the master cylinder at fault.
At that mileage I would doubt it, but.......

like Bungo said, try to bleed all the brakes and make sure you top up the brake fluid again
tell us how it goes 84k miles seems too early for it to go imo |
