1999 Chrysler Voyager 2.5L Diesel · T34 KKJ

Most recent MOT (11 Nov 2023) was a pass at 240,858 mi, but it highlighted several wear points: the nearside front tyre is close to the legal limit on both inner and outer edges, a rear tyre has a nail in the inner edge, the rear sub‑frame shows corrosion (though not seriously weakened), the front headlamp has some product on the lens, and there is a minor front‑lower oil leak. The recurring pattern across the last four MOTs is persistent oil‑leakage (recorded in 2021, 2022 and 2023) and gradual wear on tyres, brakes and suspension components. In 2022 the vehicle failed due to a major rear‑exhaust leak, a split CV boot, and a weakened seat‑belt anchorage – issues that have not re‑appeared in the latest pass, suggesting those particular faults were repaired. However, corrosion of the rear vehicle structure and brake pipe greasing, as well as deteriorating suspension arm dust covers, have been noted repeatedly since 2021. Brake discs were flagged as worn and scored in 2021 but were not mentioned in later reports, implying they may have been addressed or are now just below the reporting threshold. Overall the trend appears mixed: serious failures (exhaust leak, CV boot, seat‑belt anchorage) have been resolved, but the vehicle continues to accumulate wear‑related items (tyre tread, minor oil leak, corrosion) that could become safety concerns if left unchecked. The mileage of 240,858 mi over 27 years averages about 8,900 mi per year – roughly typical for a vehicle of this age. It does not point to extreme hard use, but the accumulated miles mean consumables such as suspension bushings, leaf‑spring anchors, brake discs and drivetrain seals are likely approaching the end of their service lives. For a buyer, the first inspections should be: Tyre condition – check tread depth on all four tyres and replace any that are near the legal limit or show edge wear. Oil leak – verify the source and severity of the front‑lower oil leak; ensure it is not worsening.
