MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Saab 9-5 (AV55 OVC) between November 2008 and January 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 8 failures.
