SAAB 9-32003 · 2.2L DIESEL

The most recent MOT for this 2003 Saab 9-3 was recorded on 2015-02-19, over 11 years ago, with 160,245 miles. Since then, there are no further MOT entries, leaving the current condition of the vehicle unverified. This absence of recent data is a significant concern, as it means critical systems like brakes, suspension, and tyres could have deteriorated without inspection. Recurring issues in the MOT history highlight persistent problems with the braking system. Brake pads have repeatedly worn thin (3.5.1g) since 2011, and brake discs have shown signs of wear, pitting, or scoring (3.5.1i). A 2013 MOT noted the parking brake barely met efficiency requirements (3.7.B.7), suggesting ongoing adjustments or repairs may have been needed. These patterns indicate a risk of reduced braking performance, which could worsen over time without maintenance. Tyre wear is another consistent issue. Inner edge wear on front and rear tyres was documented as early as 2011, with multiple mentions of tyres approaching legal limits (4.1.E.1). This could signal alignment problems, suspension wear, or improper inflation.
