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 (EO55 EVB) between August 2008 and January 2023.

The record contains 13 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 20 January 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (14 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 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 Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
