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 (LT05 AWR) between March 2008 and September 2024.

The record contains 14 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 18 September 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (25 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 46 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Brake cable insecure mount broken (1.1.15 (c))”; “Nearside Rear Upper Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn trail arm bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
