CHRYSLER GRD VOYAGER TOURING CRD A2011 · 2.8L DIESEL

The 2011 Chrysler Grand Voyager currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test on 30 December 2023. The long-term maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle passing its 2021 and 2022 inspections cleanly once minor lighting issues were rectified. However, the December 2023 test highlighted a cluster of advisories indicating that routine wear items were approaching the end of their service life. At 15 years old, the recorded 121,082 miles equates to an average of roughly 8,072 miles per year, which is typical for a large MPV. The odometer progression supports a consistent, moderate usage pattern. Between the January 2021 test at 117,468 miles and the December 2023 test at 121,082 miles, the vehicle covered just over 3,600 miles. This low annual mileage over the last three years suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly or kept stationary for extended periods, which can sometimes mask underlying issues until a full inspection is carried out. A buyer should prioritise a thorough in-person inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The December 2023 tester flagged both rear service brakes as binding, alongside thin front brake pads and worn rear brake discs. Binding rear brakes often point to seized caliper slides, corroded brake drums, or a faulty handbrake cable mechanism, all of which require immediate mechanical attention. Simultaneously, the slight external damage to both rear shock absorber casings warrants a close check for fluid leaks or compromised rubber boots. While the nearside front headlamp lens defect is a straightforward consumable replacement, the combination of rear brake binding and damaged shock absorbers suggests the previous owner allowed basic upkeep to slip. Given the vehicle's age and the advisories logged, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to verify the structural integrity of the rear suspension and ensure the braking system has been fully serviced since the last test.
