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

This 2006 Saab has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 63,311 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and past issues warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,994 miles/year, with a notable 2021 service gap and a recent period of very low usage (2,136 miles in 2021).

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures (Dec 2020, Jan 2022) and advisories (Jun 2019) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Anti-roll bar link advisory (Jun 2019) escalated to a major failure (Dec 2020), showing a pattern of wear.
  • Suspension coil spring fractured (Jan 2022) and parking brake issues (Dec 2020, Jan 2022) point to chronic maintenance.
  • The 2021 MOT gap suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or neglected during that period.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over its 20-year lifespan, averaging 10,994 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has been regularly tested for MOT, despite the recurring issues.
