2010 Saab 9-3 1.9L Diesel · MK60 WCG

The vehicle currently passes the MOT on 2026-06-18, but the maintenance history indicates a significant deterioration trend. The most recent test on 2024-11-28 was passed, yet the subsequent tests in late 2024 and early 2023 have failed, with the most recent failure occurring on 2023-11-07. This sequence suggests that the vehicle has not undergone regular preventative maintenance, allowing wear on critical components such as brakes and exhaust systems to accumulate over time. The failure dates and outcomes are chronologically ordered, confirming that the car has been running in a degraded state for several years. Mileage analysis reveals a clear pattern of rapid accumulation. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 16 years of recorded mileage, averaging roughly 8,146 miles per year. This is typical for a 2010 model but is concerning given the failure history. The test dates show a gap between the most recent pass (2024) and the first major failure (2023), which would indicate a lack of routine inspections. If the vehicle were to continue its current usage pattern, the wear on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components would likely escalate, increasing the risk of failure. Given the recurring faults and structural risks, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly on the rear sub-frame and exhaust components, and verify the condition of the brake discs and alignment components. The history shows that while the brakes have been inspected, the discs have been pitted and corroded, which may indicate improper servicing or lack of regular checks. If the rear sub-frame is found to be corroded, the vehicle should be considered non-roadworthiness, as this condition is not permitted for use.
