2010 Saab 9-5 1.9L Diesel · RV10 NTD

The 2010 Saab 9-5 currently holds a valid MOT pass recorded on 3 November 2025 at 151,310 miles, issued after a same-day failure for obviously incorrect near and offside front headlamp aim. The maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable, with each defect corrected promptly and no progressive structural or major mechanical deterioration observed. Recurring items remain confined to consumables and minor lighting faults. Mileage progression shows 140,290 recorded on 26 October 2023, then 144,409 on 6 November 2024, and 151,310 on 3 November 2025. That translates to approximately 4,100 miles over the first twelve months and 6,900 over the next, both consistent with the vehicle's average of roughly 9,400 miles per year since manufacture. The data reveals no significant gaps or sudden accumulation, suggesting steady moderate use by previous keepers. Recurring faults centre on front tyre wear and braking exhaust items. The 2023 test noted near and offside front tyres worn on edges at 2 to 3 mm, then the 2024 failure recorded both below 1.6 mm, showing the previous keeper ran them to illegality before renewal. Rear brake discs displayed pitting and scoring at both 2024 tests, while exhaust rear silencer skin was poor and a centre heat shield loose in 2023. A buyer should in person measure disc runout and check for caliper binding, examine suspension bushes and tracking given shoulder wear, lift the car to assess silencer corrosion, and confirm headlamp aim plus front position lamp operation remain correct after the 2025 rectification.
