Have you tested the cable.. notely the insulation test to see if you may have a damaged cable???

Testing the cable would be where I would start, if all checks out fine then change the MCB. However if you have a spare MCB you could always try this first. I would be going down the testing route tho, I hate leaving a problem until I know whats caused it and why
