Welcome.

If there are no fluid leaks from the clutch master or slave cylinder, then have a go at bleeding through the system.

Welcome in

Hope it's a simple fix.

the previous owner said he bled the sytem a few weeks ago maybe he has done it incorrect???

That could be it, or he bled the system because it has a leak? Have a good look around the pedal area for fluid, on the bulkhead and at the slave cylinder on the gearbox. Hopefully it should be a simple fix.

The oem service manual can be downloaded from the wiki section on the forum. Think it's explained in there? It's just like bleeding a brake caliper though, basically.
One small word of caution on the 5th gen manual - it's the USDM manual rather than UKDM.
