MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Saab 9-5 (EU53 SYG) between November 2006 and May 2022.

The record contains 17 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 12 May 2022 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: Brakes (22 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues), Lighting (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 55 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: “Offside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Nearside Front Anti-lock braking system component excessively damaged sensor reluctor ring (3.4.2)”.
