I did the pistons. Seems to have sorted the play in the lever mostly.
But there is squish when I pull the lever in all the way, it bites the rotor then squish. And the lever comes in further than when new I think, although they did pull in a long way.I've done what, 7000miles since bled.
The rear brake level make a click noise when pulled all the way in.
Opinions?

Get them rebuilt / bled at your LBS for an easy life. That's a whole load of miles on newish tech. I'd be lucky if my Hopes and Maguras do that mileage in my lifetime.

I'd echo @Howard's thoughts and bleed them. Mine have done about a tenth of the mileage of yours, ffs!

Clean the piston.
Take out pads.
Squeeze lever carefully, clean brakes, dabs a bit of mineral oil on the piston.
Back in again, see how it run.
