R56 Mini. Replaced both rear calipers and master cylinder. Used motive pressure bleeder. Brakes work but holding pressure on the pedal allows it to go slowly to the floor.

Air trapped or faulty master cylinder. Try bleeding again.

In my old Hondas, at least, this was the typical symptom of a failing master cylinder.

Definitely try bleeding it again. Otherwise, long pedal travel is a sign of that one or more components of the system have failed. Review this article here: MINI Cooper Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder Replacement (R50/R52/R53 2001-2006) | Pelican Parts DIY Maintenance Article.

Let me know what model R56 and I can help you with parts if needed.
