The missus 172 (2000) has just failed the mot. Rear brakes and handbrake.. Garage recons it needs a new caliper.. Anyone else had this problem as it seems a bit strange for the caliper to be knackered on a car that age... only done 37k miles too....

Tis indeed strange.

What exactly was the fault? Binding, handbrake not engaging, uneven braking accross the back etc?

The first thing I would check would be the handbrake mechanism before messing about with a new caliper.

Hand brake not working and uneven across the back. No braking force on that side.
