There is the possibility that the brush problems seen now, stemmed from the controller problems a while back. There would have been serious currents then, that could have damaged the brush holders.
It still seems like servicing is still needed at regular intervals. Maybe a permanent magnet motor and brushless controller is on the cards :)
Simplicity, and servicing would still win out for me in a car though.
