2007 Saab 9-3 2.0L Petrol · M28 RAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted on 16 May 2025 at 167,029 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum regulatory standards. This follows a period of successful passes in 2024 and 2021, suggesting the current owner has maintained the car to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures. At 167,029 miles, the Saab has averaged approximately 8,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use over recent years, with roughly 2,000 miles recorded between January 2024 and May 2025, and approximately 1,800 miles between January 2023 and January 2024. This steady mileage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which often prevents issues related as perished rubber components or degraded fluid chemistry. The record shows one failure on 6 January 2023 at 163,243 miles, which was immediately rectified to achieve a pass on the same day. Because no advisories were noted in the last three tests, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection focused on areas that the MOT test does not cover comprehensively. On a 19-year-old Saab, specific attention is required for structural integrity around the rear sills and floor pans, as well as the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Inspection should also check for brake caliper binding or uneven wear on the discs, as these are common points of degradation on high-mileage vehicles despite a clean MOT history.
