2010 Saab 9-3 1.9L Diesel · LD60 CPO

The 2025‑08‑26 MOT at 116,435 miles resulted in a pass, but the record reveals recurring suspension arm pin and bush wear on both near and off‑side rear positions and minor corrosion of the rear arms, indicating a modest deterioration since the 2024 test at 109,376 miles which showed no defects. This pattern suggests a slight worsening of mechanical condition rather than stable or improving maintenance. Mileage has climbed from 27,462 miles in the 2015 test to 116,435 miles in 2025, an average of roughly 8,900 miles per year, which is typical for a 16‑year‑old vehicle. The most notable increase occurred between the August 2022 test (96,729 miles) and the August 2023 test (103,495 miles), a gain of about 6,800 miles in a single year, confirming continuous use without extended periods of standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, examine the rear arms for structural rust that could compromise integrity, verify the front anti‑roll bar linkage for any movement, check the exhaust system for flexi leaks, and assess tyre condition for cuts, perishing or embedded objects. Additionally, a thorough brake and chassis rust inspection is advisable, given the repeated wear‑related advisories.
