About Recognising common defects: from steering to tyre: which statement is WRONG?

  1. Unevenly worn tyres and a vibrating steering wheel point to bent or shifted suspension components (tracking), for example after hitting a kerb hard — not primarily to pressure.
  2. The green valve cap is simply how you recognise nitrogen filling; nitrogen is a choice with benefits (holds pressure longer, lower consumption, shorter braking distance), not a legal requirement.
  3. 'If your brakes feel 'spongy' there is probably something wrong with your brake cylinder. Have your car checked as soon as possible.' This is not ordinary wear but a defect requiring immediate action.
  4. ✓ If a lighting or indicator bulb is broken, a warning automatically appears on the dashboard.

Correct answer: If a lighting or indicator bulb is broken, a warning automatically appears on the dashboard.

Explanation

'You cannot rely on a defective bulb being indicated by a dashboard warning.' Daily checking before departure remains necessary.
