2008 Saab 9-3 1.9L Diesel · KM08 TNV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT on 3 November 2025 at 102,708 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has proactively addressed mechanical failures to secure subsequent passes. While the most recent test initially failed due to a split offside front inner drive shaft joint CV boot, the immediate pass with no recorded defects indicates that the owner is responding to safety-critical faults rather than allowing them to persist. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 102,708 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,700 miles. The data shows consistent usage patterns over time, with roughly 10,500 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 11,275 miles in the following year. This low-intensity usage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it often increases the risk of rubber degradation and corrosion due to periods of relative inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, given the failure of both front coil springs in November 2023 at 80,938 miles. Such failures can indicate age-related metal fatigue or stress on the components. The inspector must also verify the recently replaced offside CV boot to ensure the repair was performed correctly and that there is no signs of grease leakage from the joint. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and mounting rust is essential, as low mileage does not protect an older Saab from environmental decay.
