I have heard all about vacuum depletion of diesels but as I have never seen this before I was wondering if this was a common characteristic of these cars or I have a servo/ master cylinder problem

Pedal creep is normal with diesel cars. My 2.0 CDTi also does it.

With the engine off, and the brake pedal pressed a few times, it should then be solid and not creep to the floor if all is ok.
