2008 Saab 9-3 1.8L Petrol · AV08 EEA

The 2025‑07‑16 MOT at 118,047 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the SAAB 9‑3 remains roadworthy and that its maintenance record is stable. All preceding tests from 2022 through 2024 also recorded passes with no listed failures, indicating consistent upkeep. Mileage has climbed from 103,125 miles in February 2022 to 118,047 miles by July 2025, an average annual increase of roughly 6,500 miles, which matches the typical usage for an 18‑year‑old vehicle and shows no abrupt gaps in the log. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs display even wear, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for any structural rust or corrosion that could affect integrity. Additionally, the tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and exhaust system should be assessed for signs of excessive wear or damage. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical failures, the lack of recent advisories does not eliminate the possibility of hidden wear, so a thorough physical inspection of these critical components is essential before final purchase.
