1987 Saab 900 2.0L Petrol · D166 GSG

The vehicle remains road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 16 July 2025 at 72,471 miles with no recorded defects. The only advisory items appear in the 25 March 2024 test, indicating a slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and wear on the rear anti‑roll bar linkage bush, both classified as non‑serious. With no new failures recorded since 2022, the maintenance trend can be described as stable, showing no deterioration in the intervening year. Mileage has risen modestly over the life of the car, averaging roughly 1,800 miles per year. The record shows an increase of 1,329 miles between the February 2022 and February 2023 tests, followed by 1,284 miles to March 2024 and a further 1,327 miles to July 2025. These increments are consistent and lack any abrupt spikes that would suggest periods of intensive use. The low overall mileage for a 1987 model supports the view that the vehicle has been lightly driven, reducing the likelihood of accelerated wear on major components. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension arm ball joint and the rear anti‑roll bar linkage bush, confirming that the slight play noted in 2024 has not progressed. Inspection of the rear position lamp wiring and operation is advisable to ensure the minor interference observed has not worsened. While the MOT record shows no brake or tyre advisories, a visual check of brake discs, pads, and tyre tread remains prudent, as consumables are not captured in the defect list. Finally, a thorough examination for any emerging corrosion or structural rust, especially around the suspension mounting points, will verify that the vehicle’s low‑mileage history has not concealed hidden deterioration.
