2006 SAAB 9-31.8L Petrol

The 2025‑09‑30 MOT at 141,741 miles passed, but the tester recorded a damaged windscreen, a corroded rear sub‑frame and an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, indicating a stable condition that shows incremental wear rather than sudden failure. Previous tests show similar recurring issues, so the trend is not improving. Mileage has risen from 117,164 miles in September 2016 to 141,741 miles in September 2025, an average of about 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 20‑year‑old vehicle; the incremental increases between successive tests are modest, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear sub‑frame and suspension mounting areas for excessive corrosion, verify the condition of the front coil springs and MacPherson struts, examine the offside rear brake pads and tyre wear patterns, and check the structural integrity of the sub‑frame and suspension arms, as these components have repeatedly appeared as advisories across the record.
