CHRYSLER GRD VOYAGER TOURING CRD A2011 · 2.8L Diesel

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-01 recorded three key issues: light oil misting on both front shock absorbers, slightly damaged/cracking rear tyres, and brake discs that were worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. These findings align with recurring patterns seen in earlier tests, suggesting ongoing mechanical wear. A failed MOT on 2024-06-24 revealed similar concerns, including damaged rear tyres, worn brake discs, and oil leaks from shocks, alongside a non-working offside stop lamp. This failure indicates potential neglect in addressing defects before retesting. The same date also shows a passed MOT, which may reflect inconsistent reporting or overlapping test dates, but the repeated issues point to systemic problems. Since 2023, the vehicle has shown a clear trend of escalating concerns. The 2023 MOT noted thin front brake pads, worn rear brake discs, and damaged front strut mounts, while the 2022 test was the only one with no recorded defects. This suggests a gradual deterioration in suspension, braking, and tyre conditions, likely linked to age and usage patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,050 miles over 15 years equates to roughly 5,270 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use or extended periods of inactivity, which might contribute to tyre perishing, fluid leaks, or component stiffness.
