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 26 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 42,598 miles. The vehicle's age and pattern of neglect make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: only 205 miles were recorded between registration in January 2006 and the first MOT in May 2019, followed by extremely low annual usage.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jul 2024): Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick friction material separated fr
  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres (Jul 2022) and Brakes (Jun 2025) indicate severe, recurring safety issues.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: Only 205 miles recorded between 2006 registration and first MOT in May 2019.
  • Recurring Major Failures: 7 major failures for lights and 3 for brakes, showing systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed for 2006 vehicle).
  • Consistent mileage trajectory post-2019, despite initial low usage.
  • No Cat N/S write-off markers evident from provided MOT data.
