I've notice the brake pedal getting more and more spongy within the last week. I've checked the brake pads, fluid level (bit high) and the servo seems ok.
Anyone got any ideas?

I've only been driving to car 2 months, so i've not done it yet. But surely the brake fluid can't go from a bit spongy to very spongy in a week.

Sounds to me like knackered slave/master cylinder seals, pedal will get spongy and you lose no fluid,the fluid just gets pushed past the seals hence the sponginess.
Does the pressure get better if you pump the pedal?
