A Part That Fails Quietly, Then Suddenly
A rear spring often sags gradually for months without an obvious symptom beyond a slightly lower ride height, then fails suddenly at the coil's end with an audible clunk. On Hybrid4 variants, a lower rear ride height than a standard petrol/diesel equivalent can be a normal characteristic of the added rear motor weight rather than purely a sign of sagged springs.

A single new rear spring on the Peugeot 3008, next to an old, sagged one, creates an imbalance — uneven ride height and a handling bias — which is why replacing them as a pair is the better approach.
Peugeot 3008 Rear Springs: What It Does
On the Peugeot 3008, bearing the rear end's weight and cushioning the initial jolt of a bump is the coil spring's role, complementing the shock absorber rather than duplicating its job. When it sags or breaks, ride height drops, headlight aim can be thrown off, and severe cases can mean an MOT failure.
