2005 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · BJ55 AHZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-15 at 158,805 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-08-07 at 158,778 miles recorded a failure despite no defects noted. This suggests potential unresolved issues or procedural discrepancies, though the lack of recorded faults implies minor or transient problems. The trend since 2023-08-16 shows consistent passing with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness in the longer term. However, the recent failure without recorded faults raises questions about the reliability of the testing process or the vehicle’s condition during that period. Mileage progression shows a steady increase of approximately 4,000–4,500 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a 21-year-old vehicle. The 2024-08-14 test at 154,621 miles and 2023-08-16 test at 150,409 miles reflect regular annual servicing, but the 2025 tests—only eight days apart—deviate from this pattern. The 158,778-mile failure occurred just days before the subsequent pass, suggesting possible rapid resolution of an issue or an administrative error. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, though the 2025-08-07 failure remains unexplained by the record. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system, suspension components, and exhaust for signs of wear, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate risks, particularly given the 2025 failure. Structural corrosion, coil springs, and brake disc thickness should be checked, alongside fluid levels and electrical systems. While the MOT history shows no major issues, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical integrity.
