The fault
How you spot it
The rear suspension squeaks at low speed, and you hear it most on an uneven road and over speed humps. The rear suspension bushes wear, or the spring bump stop, or where the damper is bolted on, but the car still steers. You will not hear it on smooth tarmac, so the test drive has to include a poor road.

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.
