2005 Saab 9-3 2.0L Petrol · LK55 AAB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 October 2025 with 148,375 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved clean passes following minor re-test failures. While the history shows two failures in October 2023 and October 2025, the immediate re-tests resulting in passes suggest that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to persist. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 148,375 miles represents an average of approximately 7,065 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with light domestic use for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 3,300 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 3,000 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady progression reduces the likelihood of strain on drivetrain components and rubber-based suspension parts compared to a high-mileage commuter vehicle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as these older Saab models are prone to corrosion over time. Although the MOT record shows no current advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look for rust around the rear wheel arches and mounting points. Given the low annual mileage, one should also check for perished rubber in suspension bushings and brake hoses, as these components can degrade through age regardless of the distance driven.
