I definitely recommend getting the car in for a brake fluid replacement. Likely it would firm up the pedal. VW recommends brake fluid changes every 2-3 years which is something no one seems to bother with these days. Almost no manufacturer recommends it but I have always found it made a difference in brake feel and the longevity of the metal parts in the brake system.
Just did brake fluid flush myself this past weekend. A Genuine VW 1L bottle from FCP was $13 tacked on to all the other stuff I ordered, and that was plenty of fluid to flush all 4 corners and have some left over. DOT 4 Class 6 was on the bottle. Pedal felt great afterward, I did this as part of the 40k mi service.
I brought it into a VW dealer to have them do some recall work and had them check that out at the same time. They said it was because I was low on brake fluid and when I took a turn the fluid in the tank up front got below a certain point and set off the sensor.
