Default Mondeo Clutch Problem

Hi. I have a Ford Mondeo 2.2 TDCi Estate. The clutch pedal has to be almost fully depressed to disengage the clutch and only has to come up very slightly to start engaging. The clutch does seem to slip very slightly when accelerating really hard uphill. Any thoughts on what the problem is?
The clutch, DMF and Slave Cylinder were all replaced by the garage that I bought the car from 4 years and 40K miles ago (well that's what the paperwork says!). I don't drive the car hard at all and don't have a trailer, etc, so am surprised that the clutch might need attention already.
Thanks for any help.

It could have gone in that time, who knows how well it was treated and even if it really was changed or if the mileage is genuine. It could have been a caravan towing, clutch slipping owner before.
It might be worth a google on adjustment but I don't think there is any as this would be a centre push hydraulic clutch. The fluid may need a change and bleed but it does sound very like a worn out clutch to me.

I would get some independent quotes or do it yourself.
