2001 Chrysler-Jeep Grand Voyager 3.3L Petrol · K10 EDO

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging age-related degradation. The most recent test in December 2024 at 136,453 miles identified several advisories that were absent in the previous 2023 test. The presence of play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and perishing on both rear tyres indicates that components are now beginning to succumb to age despite the relatively low annual mileage. At 136,453 miles over 25 years, this Voyager has averaged approximately 5,458 miles per year. This low-usage pattern is consistent with the clean records seen between 2020 and 2023. However, the two-year gap between tests in December 2020 and January 2022, where only 7,073 miles were covered, suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. Such inactivity often leads to the rubber degradation and seal-related oil issues noted in the 2024 report. A buyer must inspect the front suspension thoroughly to determine if the play in the ball joint has affected the steering geometry or control arm bushings. The 2024 advisory regarding an oil leak requires a close look at the engine bay to ensure it remains a minor seep rather than a failing gasket or seal. Given the previous report of a binding rear brake in 2022, the braking system should also be checked for uneven wear or seized calipers, which are common in vehicles that are used infrequently. The perishing tyres require immediate replacement as the rubber integrity is compromised regardless of remaining tread depth.
