2007 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · CU07 MYT

The roadworthiness status of this Chrysler Grand Voyager presents a concerning picture of recurring neglect followed by reactive repairs, showing a worsening maintenance trend across recent history. The most recent test on June 1, 2022, recorded 80,733 miles and resulted in a pass, but this followed a failure just one day prior on May 31, 2022, due to severely worn front brake pads below 1.5 millimetres, pitted brake discs, and excessively worn lower suspension arm bushes. Similar first-time failure patterns occurred in May 2021 and May 2020, revealing a consistent pattern where previous owners repeatedly presented the vehicle for testing with exhausted mechanical consumables and deteriorated suspension components rather than maintaining it proactively throughout the year. The mileage accumulation history demonstrates exceptionally low usage punctuated by extended periods of dormancy. Between September 2016 at 60,139 miles and February 2018 at 61,482 miles, the vehicle covered barely 1,300 miles over seventeen months. This pattern continued as the odometer crawled from 61,482 miles in February 2018 to 61,522 miles by May 2020, translating to negligible annual mileage of roughly twenty miles a month. Crucially, the vehicle has recorded zero MOT tests since the June 2022 pass, meaning the current date of July 29, 2026 sits more than four years past the last valid test date. This severe lapse in testing indicates the vehicle has likely been SORN and stored off the road for a prolonged period, exposing metallic components to environmental degradation. Prospective buyers must conduct a rigorous physical inspection focusing heavily on the front suspension arms, brake assemblies, and electrical infrastructure. The recurring advisories and failures regarding lower suspension arm bushes between 2021 and 2022 indicate that this heavy MPV places immense strain on its front axle geometry, requiring a close check for play or fresh degradation in the rubber bushings and track rod ends. Long-term static storage following the June 2022 pass also elevates the risk of seized brake calipers, corroded brake discs, flat-spotted tyres, and drained or degraded electrical systems. Check the operation of all exterior lighting, particularly the indicator lenses which showed repeated discolouration issues in earlier tests, and verify that the parking brake holds correctly given its historical failure for excessive travel.
