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.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Automatic gearbox shift quality and valve-body wear(Serious)
Grand Voyagers are hard on their automatic transmissions, and delayed engagement, harsh shifts or flaring between gears can quickly lead to expensive repairs.
- 2.8 CRD injector, EGR and turbo trouble(Serious)
The diesel can suit the Voyager well, but injector leaks, EGR fouling and turbo wear are common on neglected high-mileage family workhorses.
- Sliding-door and central-locking loom faults(Moderate)
Powered sliding doors and central locking are part of the Grand Voyager’s appeal, but loom breaks, latch faults and tired door modules are very common as the cars age.
