2012 Saab 9-3 2.0L Petrol · MX12 GXR

The most recent MOT from June 2025 was a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a discoloured brake light. This follows a 2024 result that flagged both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit. The vehicle's maintenance trend appears stable. While there was a failure in 2022 due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring, the subsequent years have shown no major mechanical failures or recurring structural defects. The shift from tyre wear in 2024 to a minor lighting advisory in 2025 suggests the car is being maintained, though consumables like tyres are clearly part of the regular upkeep cycle. At approximately 100,219 miles, the car has averaged roughly 7,158 miles per year. This is typical for a vehicle of its age, suggesting it has been used regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods. This level of usage implies that while the mileage is not exceptionally low, the mechanical components have likely been subjected to consistent, predictable wear rather than the degradation often seen with long periods of inactivity. The history is relatively clean, with no evidence of serious safety issues or recurring suspension problems since the 2022 spring failure. When inspecting the car in person, you should first check the condition and tread depth of all four tyres, as the 2024 MOT highlighted a tendency for front tyre wear.
