MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Saab 9-5 (VA52 SKE) between November 2005 and February 2014.

The record contains 10 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 07 February 2014 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (8 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Nearside Rear rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”; “Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”.
