CHRYSLER GRD VOYAGER TOURING CRD A2011 · 2.8L DIESEL

The vehicle’s condition shows a concerning decline in the most recent inspection. While the car passed its MOT in May 2025, the preceding failure report highlights a significant number of safety-critical defects that were clustered together, suggesting that maintenance may have been neglected until the point of inspection. The trend is clearly worsening. Between February 2024 and May 2025, the vehicle went from having no recorded defects to failing on a wide range of issues, including a serious fluid leak from the shock absorber, multiple lighting failures, and parking brake inefficiency. The presence of steering rack play, worn suspension bushes, and perishing tyres indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where multiple major components are reaching the end of their service life simultaneously. With 131,039 miles over 15 years, the usage is consistent with average annual mileage. However, the rapid accumulation of defects suggests that the vehicle may have been subjected to deferred maintenance. The transition from a clean pass in 2024 to a failure involving basic lighting, braking, and suspension issues in 2025 points to a lack of proactive care rather than just high-mileage wear and tear. The recurring issues with the rear shock absorbers, noted in both 2023 and 2025, suggest that the rear suspension is a persistent weak point for this specific vehicle. You should be prepared for the likelihood that these components have not been fully resolved or may require further attention in the near future.
