2008 Saab 9-3 1.9L Diesel · D4 NUB

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend over the last five years of recorded testing. The most recent MOT on 1 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows four consecutive years of passing without any reported mechanical or structural issues, spanning from August 2021 through to October 2025. The current recorded mileage of 148,198 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 8,233 miles. This mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's 18-year age. The MOT history shows regular annual testing without significant gaps in the inspection cycle, though the records do not provide specific mileage increments for each individual year to confirm precise annual distance travelled. Since the MOT history contains no recorded failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, the documentation suggests no recent issues with these components. However, the absence of advisories does not account for the mechanical condition of the drivetrain or the presence of structural corrosion. A physical inspection remains necessary to check for underside rust or fluid leaks that may not have reached the threshold for an MOT advisory. A buyer should focus on verifying the condition of consumable items such as tyres and brake pads, alongside a thorough check of the suspension system and steering components. While the recent five-year period shows a clean record, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate a close examination of rubber seals, bushings, and any potential for progressive corrosion on the chassis. buying_score: 85 risk_level: Low.
