Just bought my first Diesel,Strange brake problem

Just joined the diesel ranks. Proud owner of a 1978 300CD non turbo.163 thousand miles, near pefect body and interior. one very small tear on drivers seat back. Love these MB coupes.
Its a white coupe with tabacco color int.?Power Window's,manual seats and polished rims. May also get a full set of painted hub caps which i will sell.
Strange problem, he said he just replaced rear pads and tried to bleed rears.Still has a low pedal. He thinks it still has air. Odd that it won't pump up.On test drive pedal goes to floor and slowly stops car.But if i floor the gas for a second pedal is on top and firm. Can this be a bad vacuum pump?
Kind of odd to have 5 percent brakes the acceleate and have 100 percent.
when it gets home i will check vacuum system and maybe bleed brakes anyway.
any simular problems from someone here?
Thanks
Rich
