The fault
How you spot it
The rear washer does not spray, because the feed hose has come off. The water then does not go onto the window but inside, into the boot.
The water stands under the spare wheel well, the floorpan corrodes, and the connectors running in the boot can get soaked. If the rear washer does not work, check where the water went.

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.
