MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Saab 9-3 (BG55 DPF) between December 2008 and January 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 19 January 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (30 issues), Brakes (22 issues), Windscreen (15 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 95 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 Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm Worn bold on the outer and inner edges (5.2.3 (e))”; “Offside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
