You should ask about an upgrade. Current version is 7.1. 5.6 is security updates only.
5.3 is completely obsolete.

Would there be a noticeable difference between our site if we did this update? It's on a reseller account so they would be managing it all.

Vulnerabilities would get fixed, for one thing. Also, 7.x is significantly faster than 5.x, but that may or may not matter. Point is there's no reason anyone should be providing hosting on obsolete software unless specifically asked to do so.

Ok. When they do get in touch, I'll raise all this with them.

Time and Date resolved. It was php.ini and the Plesk settings.
I've raised the PHP version with them too.
