CHRYSLER GRD VOYAGER TOURING CRD A2012 · 2.8L DIESEL

The most recent MOT test was on 7 June 2024 at 131,078 mi. The vehicle failed that test, mainly because the engine’s malfunction‑indicator lamp (MIL) was inoperative, the windscreen wiper could not clear the glass effectively, the front brake pads were already thin, and the nearside rear tyre showed cracking or perishing. An oil leak was also recorded, though it was judged “not excessive”. These faults are not isolated. An oil leak was already noted at the February 2022 test, and the same leak re‑appeared in the 2024 result. Brake wear and tyre damage are new items in 2024, while in 2023 the car showed a frayed fan belt, inoperative off‑side and nearside parking brakes, and a non‑functioning off‑side window. The pattern shows a gradual accumulation of wear‑related and component‑failure issues rather than a stable or improving trend. At roughly 9,300 mi per year, the mileage is typical for a 14‑year‑old vehicle. It does not point to extreme hard use, but it also does not guarantee low wear. The combination of average mileage with the growing list of faults suggests that consumables (brakes, tyres, belts) and some electrical or engine‑control components are reaching the end of their service life.
