It could skip numbers, such as if you are counting by 3's (3,6,9,12,15) then it could have wrong numbers, and there could also be other misleading stuff too.

It could be misleading if the values themselves are incorrect, or if the line is a best-fit trace drawn erroneously, perhaps on a graph of points that genuinely do not really follow a discreet numerical law.

What are the advantages using broken line graph?

There are some advantages: If the broken line graph is misleading in your business in a good way, people will really believe you and your business in whatever the graph says. For example, If there is a line graph that shows that today your customer satisfaction rate is 99.9% then your customers will really believe you which will make your business more popular. The only bad things are if your customers realize that the graph is misleading or "broken" then they will abandon your business and then maybe your employees will do the same thing because they lose your trust. But if you make the graph believable, you are super successful. But, of course if you don't want to risk it, I would suggest using a non broken graph just in case. Hope this answers your question!
