2009 Saab 9-3 1.9L Diesel · PN09 HSG

The Saab 9-3 passed its most recent MOT on 22 October 2022 at 164,767 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend at the point of its last official test. The vehicle has not been presented for an MOT since, leaving a gap of over three and a half years to today's date of 8 July 2026, so current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from the record alone. Recorded mileage rose from 157,828 at the 26 October 2021 test to 164,767 by 22 October 2022, a modest 6,939 miles in twelve months that sits below the vehicle's lifetime average of roughly 9,692 miles per year. The two October 2022 entries show a failed test on the 20th at 164,729 miles followed by a pass two days later at 164,767 miles, yet the DVSA data lists no defects for either, suggesting the failure may have been administrative or a retest after a minor non-itemised correction rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should physically verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related wear, as a 17-year-old car with 164,767 miles will likely show degradation even where the MOT logged no advisories. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close inspection given the long standing period since the last test. Given the sparse history with only three entries across two years and no advisories logged, the record implies basic statutory upkeep was met but offers little insight into consumable condition. An independent inspection is essential before purchase.
