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

This 2008 Saab has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 15,539 miles. The low annual mileage for its age is a significant concern.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,156 miles per year, with a notable drop to just 477 miles between Nov 2022 and Nov 2023.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures: Offside Front Coil spring fractured (Jun 2019), Offside Rear Coil spring fractured (Jun 2019), Nearside Rear Coil spring fractured (Nov 2020).
  • Recurring exhaust advisories: Noted in 4 separate tests (Jun 2018, Jun 2019, Nov 2020, Nov 2021).
  • Low annual mileage: Only 4,156 miles/year, with a significant drop to 477 miles between Nov 2022 and Nov 2023.
  • Offside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit (Jun 2018) — a known upcoming cost.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and passed retests.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage readings over its lifespan.
