Default 760 no brake fluid on RHS?

Hi all, getting so close to MOT readiness but I now have this little challenge...

Bought a Gunson Easibleed to refresh the 10 year matured brake fluid. Went to near side rear wheel, (i.e. furthest away) out comes the fluid. Off side rear...nothing? Near side front...out comes the fluid. Off side front...nothing.

A quick read says that perhaps it is flexi hoses breaking down inside, did try to start unbolting last night but it's all seized and I gave up.

Having slept on it it does seem strange that it's both the offside brakes; I did disconnect one of the hoses that come out of the big underbonnet aluminium block (?) marked R and L before it goes to the wheels and there was fluid there.

Before I start tearing things to pieces advice as always would be welcome...thanks all.
