May seem obvious to some but I'm wondering if this seems to be fixing low on the rear? The front is as expected but rear seems lower compared to any other superb I see. The level seems the same on both sides so it's throwing me off the "something" is broken route

 

Anyone else seen anything like this or is it pretty normal?

after 4 years OEM springs were dropped ~30mm

replaced to stiffer Eibach Pro

Looks very low if that is unloaded.

So how long have you had the car, and how many miles has it done? 

 

If you have not had it from new then you need to check what springs are on.  Has it had a tow bar on or still does?

As it is it needs checked to see that all is well. 

Unless you have lots of sacks of cement (or equivalent) in the boot, then that is far too low.  
 

Something is wrong with the suspension.  

I think you might need new springs, but you will need to get it checked

Did have a glance over that string over the last few days but admittedly disregarded as it's a 1.6 greenline

Just broke into the 76k mark got it about 10k and got it about 8 months ago. Think it's a Feb 2018 model and seems to have had a tow bar fitted by previous owner.

The owner says his car is a Greenline model. If I remember correctly, these came with lowered suspension to improve fuel consumption, but I don't know how much lower they were from the standard set up.

Not that low.

But then the OP know if the cars has been like that for the past 10,000 miles / 8 months.

Ah, that may give you a rear end sag, based on actual experience.

That much though. If the springs are original and not snapped it would have to have been used as farm machinery to be sagging that much!

Looks either broken (not saggy) or modded to me.

Likely the previous owner was constantly towing heavy loads, that the springs have literally lost their ”spring in their step”!!!

Some extreme heavy towing to cause that!

That was exactly my argument too, but apparently we're both"wrong because Marky says so".  

Everyone knows I'm always right!

Looking forward to hearing the outcome of this.
