The fault
How you spot it
The wheel speed sensor fails: the ABS and ESP lights come on, and the system drops out. The central locking actuators wear out, or the wiring breaks in the door hinge. The roadworthiness test can fail because of the ABS light.

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.
