AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Grand Voyager passed its most recent MOT on 12 May 2026 at 105,115 miles with only minor advisories for an insecure battery and pitted brake discs, indicating a stable maintenance trend after earlier faults were resolved. The 2021 and 2020 records show the vehicle previously failed on serious consumable and mechanical defects, but no failures or defects have been recorded since the February 2021 pass, suggesting subsequent upkeep improved. Recorded mileage rose from 94,450 in March 2020 to 103,667 by February 2021, a gain of roughly 9,200 miles in eleven months, then crept up just 1,448 miles to 105,115 by May 2026. That near-static 5-year period implies the car stood largely unused or covered very low annual distances, well below the circa 7,000 miles per year norm for its age. The sparse history between 2021 and 2026 leaves a long gap with no tested wear data. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension arms and bushes, since the March 2020 failure recorded excessively worn pins and bushes on both sides and no later test confirmed renewal. The rear service brake that bound excessively in the February 2021 failure warrants a check for seized calipers or handbrake mechanism wear. Verify the front brake pads and rear pads were replaced after the 2021 failure, and examine the scored front brake discs flagged in May 2026 for remaining thickness. Confirm the battery carrier is properly secured despite the recent advisory, and test all headlamp beams and wiper operation given the 2020 to 2021 lighting and wiper defects. Tyre tread must be measured, as both front tyres failed the 1.6 mm limit in 2020 and the long standing period may have caused sidewall degradation unseen in the record.

Our Verdict

A viable option for those needing significant space, provided the service history is complete. While the mileage is low for its age, the recent gaps in MOT history require careful investigation.

The most critical point for negotiation and investigation is the gap in MOT history between February 2021 and May 2026. You must establish whether the vehicle was SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) or if tests were missed, as long periods of inactivity can lead to perished seals and battery degradation.

Check the service records specifically for the 2.8L diesel engine's maintenance. Given the vehicle's size and age, ensure that all fluid changes have been performed regularly. Negotiate the price based on the current state of the brake discs, which were noted as pitted or scored in the May 2026 MOT, suggesting they will need replacing soon.

Owning a 2.8L diesel MPV involves significant running costs. Fuel economy will be modest given the vehicle's weight, and the engine size puts it in a higher CO2 tax bracket compared to modern alternatives. Insurance for a large American-designed MPV can also be higher than standard European equivalents.

Maintenance costs are likely to be moderate to high, as evidenced by the previous need for suspension arm bushes and comprehensive brake overhauls. Expect an annual budget for servicing and tyres to be higher than average due to the vehicle's mass.

Focus your inspection on the braking system. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of brake issues, including thin pads in 2021, a binding rear service brake, and most recently, pitted and scored brake discs in 2026. A thorough check of the discs and pads is essential.

Additionally, inspect the front suspension. The 2020 MOT failure for worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside suggests the front end takes a lot of stress. Check for any current play in the steering or unusual knocks when driving over bumps. Finally, ensure the battery is now securely fastened, as this was a noted advisory in the latest test.

This 2011 black Chrysler Grand Voyager is powered by a 2.8L diesel engine and has covered 105,115 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-and-tear failures related to brakes and suspension, but it has successfully passed its most recent test in May 2026. However, there is a notable five-year gap in recorded MOT tests between 2021 and 2026 that needs clarifying.

Aggregate data is unavailable for this specific model, but the history of this individual vehicle suggests a susceptibility to suspension and brake wear.
