Well, the REINDEX page:
  <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-reindex.html>

gives a few examples of why you might need to reindex. I think the
most common reason would probably be due to index bloat. See
  <http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Index_Maintenance>

under "Index Bloat" for links to some handy queries to see whether
your tables and/or indexes suffer bloat.
