If you press firmly on the brake pedal it most likely feels normal. Try resting your foot very lightly on the brake pedal hardly pressing it at all with little more force than needed to overcome the return spring.
If the pedal slowly sinks to the floor, it's virtually conclusive there's an internal leak.

Thanks Martin, I've done what you suggested and that's exactly what happened, very helpful of you.
I'll report it to my local independent mechanic and see what he says. Any thoughts from your experience on what they normally do to fix it? The V70's probably not worth a lot of money, so I hope he doesn't say he needs to replace the entire master cylinder.
Cheers for your help.
