2005 Chrysler Grand Voyager 3.3L Petrol · Y5 JJO

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 2025-10-24 at 56,067 miles, with no major failures reported. However, a consistent pattern of minor but recurring issues suggests ongoing maintenance needs, particularly in the suspension and braking systems. The front brake pads were worn thin in the latest test, and both front tyres remain near the legal limit with edge wear—this condition was first noted in October 2024 and persists, indicating either delayed replacement or continued use beyond recommended service intervals. Oil leaks have been present since at least October 2024 and are still classified as non-excessive, which may point to a slow seep rather than a catastrophic failure, but they warrant monitoring. The recorded mileage growth is notably steady, averaging approximately 2,670 miles per year over the past five years, which aligns with low annual usage for a 21-year-old vehicle. There are no significant gaps between tests—each MOT has occurred within a month of the previous year’s date—suggesting consistent servicing and registration. The only deviation is the jump from 49,457 miles in October 2021 to 51,293 miles in October 2022, an increase of 1,836 miles, which is below average but not concerning given the overall trend. This regularity implies the vehicle has likely been driven sparingly and maintained with some consistency, though the persistent tyre and brake wear indicates that consumables are not being replaced proactively. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension, where light oil misting on both rear shock absorbers has been documented since October 2021, suggesting potential seal degradation or internal wear. The rear leaf spring shackle bush showed slight wear in 2023, and while not critical, it may indicate early fatigue in a component that can affect ride quality and alignment if left unchecked. The front brakes require immediate attention due to pad thickness approaching minimum limits, and the edge wear on both front tyres demands urgent replacement to avoid sudden failure. Additionally, the headlamp lens contamination observed in 2025 should be cleaned or replaced to ensure full compliance with lighting regulations. Structural integrity appears intact based on the records, but a physical check for corrosion under the chassis and around wheel arches is advisable given the age.
