I've only ever replaced them singly - as long as they are replaced with =

  One of the rear shock absorbers is leaking, so that's an MOT failure.

  Now it can be easily be replaced.

  So my question is, should I replace both sides because of the damping =
characters?

  I drive rarely, so basically it is not wearing out.
