2009 Saab 9-3 1.9L Petrol · CX09 EXV

The 2009 Saab 9-3 last passed its MOT on 13 November 2021 at 109,868 miles with no defects recorded, giving it a clean roadworthiness status at that point. The maintenance trend shown by the record is stable but the data is extremely sparse, with only two tests logged in the supplied history. The vehicle has not been tested since late 2021, leaving over four and a half years of unverified condition between that pass and today's date of 8 July 2026. The recorded mileage of 109,868 at the final test equates to roughly 6,463 miles per year across the car's seventeen years, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. A notable gap appears in the record: the failed test on 28 October 2021 at 109,510 miles and the pass sixteen days later at 109,868 miles show only 358 miles covered in that window. The failure recorded no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or unlogged reason rather than a mechanical fault, though the lack of detail prevents firm conclusion. No rapid accumulation or long-standing periods are evidenced beyond the missing tests after 2021. A buyer must treat the absence of post-2021 MOT data as a serious gap. The Saab should be inspected in person for structural corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as these components degrade with age and disuse on a seventeen-year-old car. The clean 2021 pass offers no assurance for current integrity given the elapsed time. Given the single earlier failure with no defects noted, previous owner upkeep cannot be judged as negligent from the record alone. Prior to purchase, commission an independent inspection of exhaust emissions, drivetrain wear, and tyre tread depth to confirm the car remains mechanically sound after its long test absence.
