2011 Chrysler-Jeep Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · C11 PAP

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 10 February 2026 with no recorded defects. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears generally stable, although there have been intermittent issues with the braking system and suspension. The failure in February 2025 regarding an inoperative parking brake, following a 2022 advisory for grabbing brakes, suggests a progressive deterioration of the secondary braking system that required corrective action to restore roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 129,276 miles over approximately fifteen years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,618 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a large multi-purpose vehicle of this vintage. This level of consistent use generally prevents the issues associated with long-term standing, such as seized calipers or perishing seals, but it does mean that high-wear consumables and chassis components are likely approaching the end of their natural service life. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front suspension, as the nearside front shock absorber has been flagged for oil misting and limited damping since at least 2021. During a test drive, listen for clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces and observe if the front end exhibits excessive bouncing or instability under braking. Additionally, there is a history of uneven tyre wear, specifically on the inner edges of the rear tyres and the offside front. This often indicates a misalignment of the wheel tracking or worn suspension bushes, so a thorough inspection of the current tyre tread depth and contact patch is essential to avoid immediate replacement costs. The braking system requires further scrutiny given the history of worn rear discs and the recent failure of the parking brake. Ensure the handbrake holds the vehicle securely on an incline and that there is no shudder or pulling during deceleration. Given the age and mileage, the buyer should also verify the service history for timing belt intervals and automatic transmission fluid changes, as these are critical for the longevity of this powertrain. A physical check for underbody corrosion, particularly around the suspension mounting points and sills, is strongly recommended to ensure the structural integrity remains sound.
