2011 Saab 9-3 Vector Sport 160 Ttid Auto 1.9L Diesel · SH11 XMP

The 2011 Saab 9-3 Vector Sport 160 TTID Auto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 27 June 2025 at 45,648 miles with no defects recorded. Prior tests show the same clean outcome: a pass at 42,392 miles on 1 July 2024, a pass at 38,150 miles on 3 July 2023, and a pass at 34,714 miles on 28 June 2022. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 1 July 2024 at 42,391 miles, yet the record lists no defects and the vehicle passed later that same day at one mile more, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits at 45,648 against an age of roughly fifteen years, equating to about 3,043 miles per year. The annual increments are consistent and low: 3,436 miles between June 2022 and July 2023, 4,241 miles to July 2024, and 3,256 miles to June 2025. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data. The DVSA history is sparse and clean across all five entries, with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions ever raised. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the Saab 9-3 of this era is prone to subframe and sill rust that a visual MOT check may miss if not progressed to a defect. The automatic diesel drivetrain warrants a cold-start check for gearbox slip and turbo oil feed condition given the low annual use, which can encourage seal hardening. Verify the 1 July 2024 fail without listed defects against DVSA to confirm it was a paperwork retest and not a suppressed fault.
