The Saturn V wasn't designed for a Mars mission. It was designed to attain LEO and put the CM/CSM/LM on a trajectory to the Moon.

It could never be used to do the same for a Mars mission.

Of course not, because moon launches require the ability to lift stuff into space, in contrast, a Mars launch requires the ability to lift stuff into space.

BIG DIFFERENCE.
