MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Saab 9-3 (KV08 AEM) between March 2011 and January 2025.

The record contains 16 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (10 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear fog lamp does not emit a steady red light (4.5.4 (a))”; “Fuel system component leaking fuel filter area's (6.1.3 (b) (i))”.
