2003 Saab 9-3 2.0L Petrol · LK03 FXR

The 2003 Saab 9-3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 November 2025 at 162,959 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 21 October 2024 at 162,243 miles confirms the vehicle has entered a period of consistent compliance after earlier instability. Mileage sits at 162,959 against a 23-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,085 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The record shows a long gap between the April 2023 tests and the October 2024 retest, during which only 2,666 miles accrued. From October 2024 to November 2025 the car covered just 716 miles, indicating reduced use or periods of storage rather than heavy daily driving. The two failed tests in 2023 and 2024 carry no recorded defects, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the timeline. The absence of flagged wear suggests either diligent upkeep or tests conducted without deep interrogation of consumables. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age and low recent mileage, as standing vehicles develop corrosion unseen in a pass-only record. Verify the front coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre sidewall condition before purchase, since the MOT history offers no evidence of these components being examined in depth.
