AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2011 Saab has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 32,215 miles. However, a recurring brake disc advisory and a recent failure for anti-roll bar linkages warrant careful inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,647 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisory (flagged in 2014 and 2026) indicates ongoing wear.
  • Anti-roll bar linkage play (2014) and recent failure (2026) suggest suspension wear.
  • Low annual mileage (8,647 mi/yr) for a 15-year-old vehicle may indicate limited use.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027 provides significant peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent mileage averaging 8,647 miles/year aligns well with UK average, showing no fraud.
  • No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
