They were never a factory-fitted item. They were fitted under recalls (for Rover 75 only) or owners fitted them as DIY. ALL 75/ZTs should have them as an insurance against tyre damage.

Is there anything that can be done in the way of preventative maintenance to minimise springs snapping, e.g oiling, waterproof greasing etc?

I doubt there's much anyone can do to prevent spring fracture. Keep it in the garage during the winter is the best preventive statistically. This is from an AA survey several years ago.

I consider a spring breaking to be an important safety issue, that is not being addressed.

It was addressed by two recalls. Many owners didn't take it up. So, you'll have to fit them yourself, it's very easy.
