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

This 2007 Saab has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 43,231 miles. The 2011 MOT failure for brakes and headlamps, though rectified, is a concern for a vehicle of this age.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 43,231 miles by Feb 2019, averaging 11,030 miles per year, which is slightly above the UK average of 8,000.

Things to check

  • 2011-03-30 FAILED: Offside Headlamp not working on dipped beam (1.7.5a) — indicates electrical issues.
  • 2011-03-30 FAILED: Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g) — suggests past neglect of critical safety components.
  • 2019-02-01 PASSED: First MOT in 10 years after 2012-04-03 PASS — significant gap in MOT history.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • No MOT failures recorded on the single 2019 test, indicating immediate rectification of prior issues.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies or suspicious drops, suggesting genuine usage.
  • Single advisory for a worn tyre in 2010 is a minor, easily resolved issue.
