How Saab models compare on the MOT
The spread across Saab models is wide — 76.3% for the 9-5 at the top and 74.9% for the 9-3 at the bottom, a 1.4-point gap across 28,153 and 137,430 recorded tests respectively. Most Saab models sit much closer to the middle (around 74.9%, on 137,430 tests for the 9-3). The best and worst are both real DVSA results, not opinions: the pass rate is the share of every completed MOT test for that model that ended in a pass.
Every figure above is drawn from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records for the 2000–2012 data years: 169,116 tests across 7 Saab models. A pass rate counts every completed test — first attempt and retests — so the figures above include a van or motorhome being tested twice in one year. The first-time pass figures on each model page are lower as a result. See the methodology page for exactly how each rate is calculated and how the DVSA source data is filtered.
