Quick question

On my 2017 R, I've noticed that if I 'bounce' the car by pushing down above the tail lights when it's parked, there's a distinct creaking noise coming from the suspension. That said when driving, I haven't noticed anything unusual, there's no noise when driving over speed bumps or any other issues.
Would this be a reason to have it looked at or is it nothing to worry about?

Your MOT should pick up any issues. If it drives and handles perfectly, I wouldn't be concerned. Creaking doesn't usually mean any work is needed. A knocking sound over bumps or potholes probably would

Thanks, recent MOT (French equivalent as I don't live in the UK) didn't pick up anything. I might mention it when its next service is due.
