Could be air in the lines, old contaminated fluid (brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, I believe the term is hydroscopic?) or a failing brake hose from the body to the caliper. Try having the fluid flushed and the brakes bled, if that does not do it, then replace the lines, long shot is a failing master cylinder or power vacuum resrvoir.
Above advice assumes discs and pads are known to be in good shape.
