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.
