How do you know if/when the suspension needs a refresh?

Car's a 2004 and the only knowledge I have of any components being replaced is a rear spring in 2017. I've had the rear reinforced and restored, so all new bushes, etc., (which, incidentally, made a hell of a difference to the ride) but what should I look out for in relation to springs (bar cracks obviously!) and shocks? Everything 'bounces back' ok if you lean on each corner, but as the ride is quite harsh anyway it's hard to know if everything's fine.

I suppose the obvious answer, is knocks, or bangs, leaking or feeling bouncy, not as sharp when pushing on.
