The fault

How you spot it

A recurring complaint is that water gets into the cabin through the engine bay bulkhead, and collects in the footwell. Under the wet carpet the floorpan corrodes, and the cables of the control units run there too.

How we know

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.
