In the UK, almost no cars or light trucks have leaf springs, they went the way of running boards and cranking handles a long time ago.
Broken coil springs are very common on European made vehicles, mostly caused by poor quality springs and stiff sidewall, low profile tyres. Poor road surface maintenance is also a major factor.
When I started my apprenticeship 50 years ago, removing and re-tempering sagging leaf springs was common. I can still remember taking leaf springs to the 'Britannia Spring and Radiator Company' for re-conditioning. The name has stuck with me.
