2012 CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER2.8L Diesel

The 2012 Chrysler Grand Voyager exhibits a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 2023-03-22 confirming roadworthiness despite recurring minor issues. The vehicle passed with notable concerns including rear brake disc wear, an oil leak, and tyre damage, all of which align with previous reports. The 2023-03-14 failure highlighted service brake inefficiency and suspension bush wear, yet the subsequent pass suggests these were addressed. No new structural or critical mechanical faults emerged, indicating consistent upkeep of core systems. However, repeated brake disc pitting and tyre-related advisories suggest ongoing attention is required for these components. Mileage progression shows a steady 11,002 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle. The MOT records span from 2021 to 2023, with a 10-month gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests. This interval may reflect reduced usage or missed inspections, though no major anomalies in mileage accumulation are evident. The 2022-02-10 failure included a fuel filter leak and tyre damage, while the 2021-01-11 test noted outer-edge tyre wear, reinforcing patterns of gradual component degradation rather than sudden deterioration. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly the nearside rear lower arm bush and front suspension components flagged in prior tests. Brake discs, especially at the rear, require close examination for further pitting or thinning. Tyres should be assessed for cracks, damage, or uneven wear, with particular focus on the nearside rear and front. Additionally, the oil leak and engine MIL fault from 2023 warrant verification of underlying causes, such as gasket integrity or sensor functionality. Structural rust or corrosion should also be checked, as recurring registration plate issues may indicate environmental exposure or panel damage.
