Default Low to ground? Fail?

Simple questiong for you experts here. Recently bought a car at an auto auction and the car seems really low to the ground with the fenders hugging the 19inch oem rims.

Car hasnt started in a couple of months as it sat it a lot. Since the car is low, does that mean the suspension is also messed up or could the car just be that low because the carhasnt started for such a longtime and the pumps dont have air in in them causing the suspension to drop the car that low? Hopefully once i can get it started then the pumps would be activated again and the suspension willl o back to normal?

What year A8 is it ?

It's possible it could have settled over time, but my gut says slow leak somewhere.

A VCDS scan is the first place to start for this and whatever else you may find.
I'd run an Autoscan, clear codes, and see what comes back.
