2007 Saab 9-3 2.0L Petrol · HV07 FHA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on June 2 2025 at 136,456 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. This follows a period of consistent passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the current ownership is proactive in addressing mechanical issues before they escalate into recurring MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,182 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and June 2024, the car covered 3,670 miles, which reflects low-intensity usage rather than long periods of neglect. The single failure in May 2023 at 133,259 miles was immediately rectified by a pass on the same day, pointing to a minor consumable item failure or a simple component adjustment that was resolved quickly rather than a deep-seated mechanical fault. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must focus on the physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components common to this age and mileage. At 136,456 miles, the rubber bushings and coil springs are likely showing signs of cracking or fatigue that an MOT tester might not flag until they become safety hazards. Inspect the underside for corrosion on the rear subframe and sills, as the record only identifies structural rot once it reaches a significant threshold. Checking the brake discs for excessive pitting or binding calipers is also advisable to ensure the lack of recorded advisories does not mask uneven wear on the braking system.
