2008 Chrysler GR Voyager 2.8L Diesel · RJZ 6163

Chronic corrosion and recurring electrical faults define this vehicle's history, despite a clean pass on 12 April 2022. The records reveal a pattern of failures involving lighting, engine management indicators, and structural deterioration, including a dangerous fuel accumulation on the engine and significant corrosion of the rear axle beam. While the latest recorded test showed no defects, the prior history suggests a tendency toward multiple simultaneous minor and major failures across various systems. With 160,128 miles recorded over 18 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,896 miles per year, which is typical for its age. However, there is a significant absence of MOT data from April 2022 through to September 2026. This four-year gap in testing indicates the vehicle may have been off the road for an extended period, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seizing of brake calipers, and potential battery failure. Inspection should prioritise the structural integrity of the rear axle beam and the condition of the rear brake pipes, both of which were previously flagged for heavy corrosion. A physical check of the offside front wing is necessary to determine if the previously recorded holes and corrosion have been remediated. During a test drive, listen for knocks or instability from the rear suspension and feel for any irregularities in braking performance that could indicate binding calipers or degraded lines. The electrical system requires scrutiny, specifically the tyre pressure monitoring system and engine management light, both of which have a history of malfunctions. Verify that all exterior lighting, including side repeaters and registration lamps, is fully operational. Additionally, check the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks or residue, referencing the previous reports of a coolant leak at the offside rear and fuel pooling on the engine block.
