Coil Spring Question

This is on a 1990 190E....but would apply to diesels as well, so I post here.

The MB service adviser told me that the front springs on this car were both broken at the bottom. But it doesn't seem to me that they're actually broken. When I run my finger around them, I can't feel any breaks. They simply look compressed. And both springs are identical.

Thoughts?
