CHRYSLER GR VOYAGER2008 · 2.8L DIESEL

This 2008 Chrysler Grand Voyager presents a significant risk because the MOT certificate expired over two years ago in March 2024. You must treat this vehicle as having no current roadworthiness certification. The history reveals a worrying pattern where the vehicle failed its MOT on two separate occasions, only to pass a few days later after repairs, suggesting maintenance is done reactively just to pass the test. The braking system is the primary area of concern. In March 2023, the test recorded a leaking front brake pipe, worn rear brake discs, and worn rear brake pads. By March 2024, the issues had shifted to include leaking rear brake pipes on both sides, again worn rear brake discs, and a parking brake with efficiency below requirements. This recurrence of hydraulic leaks and worn friction components two years in a row indicates systemic corrosion or neglect rather than simple wear and tear. Beyond the brakes, the 2023 failure highlighted illegal tyre tread depths on the front nearside and offside inner tyres, along with an excessively worn offside rear leaf spring shackle pin or bush. The 2024 failure also listed an insecure front battery. These defects point to a vehicle that has been subjected to age-related deterioration, likely compounded by periods of standing still.
