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

This 2001 Saab has 28 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 14,256 miles. The mileage is extremely low, averaging only 1,795 miles per year, raising serious odometer integrity concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging 1,795 miles/year, with a significant 14-year gap (Aug 2018 to May 2026) where only 14 miles were recorded, strongly suggesting odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS Offside Rear Vehicle structure/chassis excessive corrosion (Aug 2023) — structural integrity risk.
  • DANGEROUS Offside Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin (Aug 2021) — immediate safety concern.
  • Mileage significantly below average: 45,525 miles over 25 years — high odometer fraud risk.
  • Recurring Tyres advisories (Aug 2018, Aug 2019, Aug 2020, Aug 2021, Aug 2022) — consistent wear pattern.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until May 2027 — no immediate retest required.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since May 2026 pass.
  • Consistent retest pattern shows owner addressed defects promptly.
  • No recurring major system failures (e.g., engine, transmission) identified.
