2002 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.5L Diesel · EK51 WBY

This 2002 Chrysler Grand Voyager has reached a significant age and mileage, and the MOT history reveals a concerning, persistent pattern of neglect regarding its braking system. The vehicle has not had a valid MOT certificate since July 2023, meaning it has been off the road for nearly three years. The most serious risk is the recurring issue of corroded brake pipes. Since 2021, every single MOT record notes that the brake pipes are covered in grease or wax-like material. This is a classic "red flag" tactic used to hide structural corrosion from testers, and the fact that this has been flagged repeatedly without a permanent repair suggests the underlying metal is likely severely degraded. The vehicle's mechanical condition appears to be worsening or, at best, stagnant. The persistent oil leaks noted since 2020, combined with the recurring brake pipe issues and the long period of inactivity since the last test, indicate that this van has likely been parked up and poorly maintained. While the average annual mileage of 6,558 miles is moderate for a vehicle of this age, the lack of recent testing suggests it may have suffered from long-term storage, which often leads to seized components and further deterioration of rubber seals and metal lines. The primary risk here is structural and safety-related. The combination of hidden corrosion and a three-year gap in MOT history makes this a high-risk purchase.
