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 1999 Saab 9-5 (T242 GJM) between June 2006 and August 2023.

The record contains 18 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 15 August 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (38 issues), Suspension (35 issues), Tyres (18 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 121 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 Front Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”.
