The ideal way would be to get the vendor to set the car to the highest height the night before you visit and check it stays up overnight. If it hasn't then there is a problem.

Otherwise just check the car goes up by the same amount at each corner when you change the setting. You could use a ruler from the wheel top to wheelarch.

Check for leaks around each strut when on the highest setting. It should be quite obvious if they've cleaned.

It might be worth getting an MB inspection prior to purchase.
