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.

You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
