New D3, front suspension at uneven heights

My new to me d3 has a strange issue,

The passenger side is sitting lower then the drivers at the front, this is the same regardless of engine running or not and it doesn't sink or not that I've noticed. I think it may of been like this for a while as the tyre tread is slightly lower on this side.

I've got no warnings on the dash nor have I ever had.

Any ideas?

I'd make sure it's not sinking using the worksheet linked here http://disco3.co.uk/forum/post1533029.html#1533029

If it's not sinking, then check the height sensor readings / recalibrate the ride height using a suitable diagnostic tool. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

This diagnostic tool you mention, is it dealer specific kit?

Not necessarily. Do a search on here and you'll find lots of information on diagnostic tools. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

May have had a height sensor changed and not been calibrated. You don't have to go to a dealer, someone on here with an iid tool or nanocom could help if you posted your town name may help. D3 Tonga HSE 2005

I'm booked in with my (non) local specialist on Monday to have a look at re-calibrating
