MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Saab 9-3 (LM04 YLP) between June 2007 and June 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 28 June 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (26 issues), Tyres (22 issues), Steering (10 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 60 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 Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”; “Offside Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”.
