2008 Saab 9-5 1.9L Diesel · DV08 HDX

The 2008 SAAB 9‑5 recorded a PASSED result on the 17 July 2024 MOT at 134,266 miles, with no defects noted, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. Earlier tests in 2023 and 2022 also yielded passes, though two 2024 entries show a failed status with no recorded defects, suggesting minor or non‑structural issues that were rectified before the final pass. The mileage has risen steadily from 121,540 miles recorded in the April 2022 test to 134,266 miles at the July 2024 test, an increase of 12,726 miles over 25 months, or roughly 5,090 miles per year, which is consistent with the vehicle’s 18‑year age and typical usage. The 2023 July test at 128,989 miles and the 2024 July test at 134,266 miles show a modest rise of 5,277 miles in 12 months, while the earlier 2024 July 8 test at 134,253 miles indicates a negligible change, confirming a stable mileage trajectory without abrupt spikes. A buyer should therefore focus on the vehicle’s suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers, as these components often exhibit wear on high‑mileage examples; the condition of the brake discs, pads and calipers should be examined, especially given the repeated brake‑related test outcomes; and attention must be given to any signs of structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody, as corrosion can develop unnoticed between MOTs.
