MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Saab 9-3 (Y233 CHO) between April 2006 and April 2019.

The record contains 15 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 17 April 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 3 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Offside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”; “Nearside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”.
