The fault
How you spot it
On early 8X A1 cars the interior plastics lose their shape over time, and on a poor road the whole cabin rattles: the dashboard, the doors and the trim panels rattle too. The rattle does not affect the engine, the brakes or the suspension, but on a smooth road you will not hear it, so on a test drive take it over cobbles or a poor surface too, with the radio off.

Information, not an expert opinion
We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.
- A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
- A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
- You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
