Thinking of getting a Discovery 3, currently have a facelift Discovery 2 (past 4 years)

I drove past the car that I'd seen for sale today, and it looked really low on the suspension, all 4 corners. The front wheels looked like they had negative camber it was that low. The pictures I saw online looked fine, the owners claims he doesn't use it much, but should the suspension hold up ? or do they drop over time ?

Basically the owners stated that the compressor had recently been replaced, and I'm sure if I arrange a viewing it'll look OK, but I just took a sneaky look to see how it looked overall and noticed this.

Any advice welcome

Thanks

Probably has a leak somewhere

No it's normal in access mode go have a look see it will raise automatically once you drive away so nothing to worry about as all 4 corners are down.

More to worry about are the cam belts and oil pump

Thats exactlly how mine looks when parked, as i always leave it in access mode, especially the rear wheel camber which always looks weird, like some old knackered MG sports car from 40 years ago!
