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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 33,626 miles. While recent tests show resolution, the recurring nature of tyre advisories and a significant mileage drop in 2022 warrant careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory shows normal annual usage (10,597 mi/yr) until April 2022, when it dropped to 9,879 mi/yr, then returned to normal, indicating a change in usage or potential service history.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defect (May 2019) indicates past neglect of critical safety items.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (2019, 2021) suggest a systemic weakness in the vehicle's suspension or alignment.
  • Major engine MIL failure (Apr 2024) is a serious fault that needs immediate investigation.
  • Significant mileage drop (Apr 2022) from 27,055 to 9,879 mi/yr suggests a change in usage or potential issues.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage (10,597 mi/yr) for most of its life, indicating regular use.
  • No recurring major failures on critical systems like brakes or steering.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and passed retests, showing owner responsiveness.
  • The vehicle has a long MOT history, providing a comprehensive view of its maintenance.
