2012 Saab 9-3 1.9L Diesel · AE12 GGO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on March 5, 2025, at 148,924 miles, indicating it is currently roadworthy. However, the maintenance trend shows some recurring issues, particularly with the rear brakes and tyres, which have been flagged in multiple tests. These recurring faults suggest a need for regular attention to these components. The vehicle's mileage of 148,924 miles over approximately 14 years equates to around 10,637 miles annually, which is within a typical range for its age. Notably, there is a significant gap between the February 29, 2024, test at 131,841 miles and the subsequent failed test on the same day, followed by a pass on February 27, 2023, at 118,736 miles. This pattern indicates either inconsistent testing intervals or possible issues that were resolved before the next test. Buyers should inspect the rear brake discs for wear, pitting, or scoring, as these have been noted in recent tests. Additionally, the front and rear tyres exhibit signs of wear, particularly on the edges, which could indicate improper inflation or alignment issues. The power steering system also showed seepage, suggesting potential fluid leakage that may require addressing. Given the fractured offside rear coil spring noted in 2023, the suspension should be thoroughly examined for any signs of further damage or wear.
