Sagging rear end

[Markssl]

The rear end of my car looks really low compared to other estates. It's never had a tow bar. I understand the Avantgarde model is 15mm lower but mine just looks too low. It did go back to MB for a recall on the self levelling valve. Anyone else got this problem? Thanks.

From reading your other posts, vibration at speed, pulling to the left, both front springs broken, it's beginning to sound like your car has had a hard life.

Is it high mileage, or did it used to live in a part of the country where the roads were terrible?

It's beginning to sound like there may be problems with your whole suspension, as I said in one of your other threads, it probably would be best to have an MOT done on the car and fix whatever they find, even if wherever/whomever you bought it from had MOT'd it before you bought it.

It's only £50 or so, and it would give you peace of mind in the long run.

Thanks for the advice. The cars done 152k miles. I bought it 2 years ago with 102k thinking a young car with motorway mileage would be a good option. Thing it's always had these symptoms and I'd given up getting it fixed as it's not that bad but on the other hand it's not right and I'd like it to be smooth as it's such a great car. But the fact it's not worth a lot I'd rather not spend a fortune if I can help it. Just had MOT done and it passed with no advisories. So not sure what to do now?
Thanks

Maybe you have a sagging bellow?
