The SAAB 9-5 (2006-09) 5DR ESTATE 1.9 TID 150 VECTOR AUTO is a large, five-door diesel estate, aimed at buyers wanting more space than a family hatchback without choosing an SUV. In the UK used-car market, it is a distinctive alternative to familiar estates such as the Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and Volvo V70. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 20 checks covering six different VINs, so the sample is useful but relatively small. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,400 and average recorded mileage of 153,000 miles. Average annual mileage is 5,000, while cars had 2.6 previous keepers on average. These figures offer context, not a guarantee of an individual car’s condition or value. The roomy cabin and load space suit families, commuters or anyone carrying bulky kit. Its diesel engine and automatic gearbox favour relaxed driving, while Vector trim adds appeal; check service history and condition carefully before you buy.
