Definitely have to be changed in pairs, no doubt about ityou may have to change both as the new one will be stronger than the old one and put pressure on it and it will ping. Springs do go 'its just one of those things' I would have thought it should have been picked up at MOT stage as wearing so you would have been prepared
2016 it says in opening post.How old?
There is no real way of assessing "wear" on a springyou may have to change both as the new one will be stronger than the old one and put pressure on it and it will ping.

Good point I remember cross channel in my transit on open deck covered in sea spraytransported in sea spray.
As people are saying change both springs. Springs can go at any time with or without corrosion. It can depend on the spring itself, road conditions, driving styles etc. A couple of months ago I changed the springs on a motorhome that had done less than 1000 miles and they both snapped at the same time.Rear O/S leaf spring on 2016 Elddis 175 snapped, anybody else had same misfortune ?

Only fast and cheap if your in MoroccoSaw lots of people in Morocco having new springs or a new leaf to replace a snapped one. The local garages can fix virtually anything, fast and cheap.. Amazing.
