The suspension won't sag like on a car with metal springs - if the

Coil springs don't normally sag. That was reserved for leaf springs -
and not many of those around these days. Coil springs can break,
though. But the spheres on a Citroen have a definite life - rather
shorter than springs?

Unless it's a budget Ford.

You seem to be living in the past. Ford no longer make 'budget' cars any
more than any other large maker. For those you need to go elsewhere.

FWIW, only one large UK maker did produced a designed for the purpose
'budget' car - and that was your favourite, BL, in the shape of the
dreadful Marina. Ford did have a few based on older models or basic
versions of others.
