Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a high-
When viewing this 2009 diesel Aero, focus your attention on the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been changed according to manufacturer intervals, as these are critical for the 1.9L TTID engine. Given the high mileage of 116,926, check for any signs of turbocharger wear or excessive smoke from the exhaust.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT record is clean, this vehicle has been driven much more than the typical sample in our database. Ask for evidence of recent brake and tyre replacements, as these are common maintenance items that approach the end of their life at this mileage.
As a 1.9L diesel, this SAAB should offer relatively efficient fuel economy for a performance-oriented saloon, though actual figures will depend on driving style. You should check the specific tax band and insurance group for this TTID model, as insurance for older performance-branded cars can be higher than standard diesel models.
Maintenance costs for a SAAB of this age can be higher than for mainstream brands due to parts availability. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including fuel filter changes and potential DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) considerations if the car has been used for short urban trips.
Based on aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the anti-roll bars and the driver's side door mechanism, as these are common failure points in the wider SAAB 9-3 fleet. Even though this specific vehicle has no recorded failures, these are known weak points to test during a test drive.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for any clouding or moisture ingress, as headlamp issues are a top failure reason for this model. Check the suspension components for any knocks or rattles, which could indicate the anti-roll bar issues seen in other examples.
This 2009 SAAB 9-3 AERO TTID in blue has covered 116,926 miles as of its last MOT in March 2024. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,890 per year, the vehicle has secured three consecutive MOT passes without recorded defects since 2021. This specific diesel variant offers a different performance profile compared to the petrol Aero models, focusing more on torque and efficiency.
The SAAB 9-3 shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.5% across 91 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to anti-roll bars and lighting.
