Is it the handbrake or the footbrake efficiency it's failing on?

Wheel cylinders could be seized on the rear. Thats what I had on my 206. Handbrake worked fine but little effort from the pedal.

As above, i assume they're failing the rear service brake, yeah? If so, definitely have a look at your wheel cylinders.
