Brake servo is on its way out. I had the same just get a second hand one and replace it. But in a nutshell the servo has a leek and air is getting out by the seal

You could do a quick test with the servo, with the engine switched off pump on the brake pedal a few times till it goes solid, then with the foot resting on the brake pedal, start the engine up you will notice the brake pedal will go down. Listen for any escapeing air.

No servo on a diesel it is a vacuum pump.
I would strip, clean and lubricate the brake callipers first as it could be a slightly sticking calliper.

Sorry, corrected. I assume you are right and there is a servo but the he vacuum for that is created by a mechanically driven vacuum pump rather than a hose connected to the intake manifold.
