2007 Saab 9-3 1.9L Diesel · OY07 AEU

The 2007 Saab 9-3 passed its most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 201,768 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle carries a clean test record from the January 2024 pass at 187,487 miles through to the latest pass, showing no worsening condition or recurring workshop issues across the three-year window. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 10,619 miles per year for a 19-year-old car, with the record moving from 187,487 miles in January 2024 to 195,253 miles at the January 2025 failure, then 195,270 miles at the pass five days later, and 201,768 miles by January 2026. The sparse three-test span shows no rapid accumulation or standing gaps, though the two consecutive January failures on identical mileages with no defects logged suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical neglect by the owner. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points common to Saab 9-3 chassis at this age and mileage, as the MOT record logs no advisories that would expose such wear. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust emissions should be physically checked despite the clean passes, since a 201,768-mile vehicle will have consumed multiple sets of these components outside the test window. The repeated same-day failure and pass pattern in both 2025 and 2026 warrants verification of the V5C and test certificates to confirm no suppressed defects.
