2014 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · AD09 FAN

The vehicle shows a history of deferred mechanical maintenance, particularly regarding the suspension and steering systems. In the most recent test on February 2026 at 132,476 miles, the car passed but carried advisories for a nearside steering linkage ball joint and a worn offside rear suspension arm bush. This follows a significant failure just three weeks prior at 132,160 miles, where the tester identified a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber, a split CV boot, and an improperly adjusted parking brake. While the immediate failures were addressed, the recurring nature of suspension wear suggests that components are reaching the end of their service life. At 132,476 miles over 12 years, the Chrysler Voyager averages approximately 11,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical family vehicle usage. However, the record reveals a persistent issue with the front shock absorbers, which were flagged for oil misting as early as 2024 and 2025 before escalating to a serious leak in early 2026. This progression indicates a pattern of only replacing parts once they reach a point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The presence of a binding nearside front service brake in 2024 further suggests that the braking system may suffer from corrosion or neglected calipers. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the front-end geometry and suspension bushings, as the steering linkage and ball joints have already appeared as points of concern. The nearside front CV boot noted in the February 2026 failure must be verified as replaced to prevent imminent damage to the drive shaft joint. Given the high mileage and the history of leaking dampers and steering play, a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity is also necessary to ensure no deeper corrosion issues have developed beyond the recorded advisories.
