AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Saab has 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 43,863 miles. While many advisories were addressed, recurring issues with tyres and brakes, plus a recent MOT expiry date, warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent low annual mileage averaging 8,491 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Major failure for Nearside Rear Coil spring fractured (Mar 2022) — a structural suspension issue.
- Major failure for Offside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Feb 2024) — a critical safety defect.
- Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Mar 2022, Feb 2024) and tyre advisories (Feb 2024) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- The vehicle is currently on SORN with an MOT expiry date of 2025-03-07, implying a recent MOT pass.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 8,491 miles/year, indicating light use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies across all MOT tests.
- Most major and minor failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
- The vehicle has a long, consistent service history reflected in its MOT records.
