2010 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · EX10 AEO

The 2023‑12‑02 MOT at 134,520 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has improved since the July 2022 failure. All previously noted advisories—including the gearbox mounting defect, parking brake shortfall and suspension arm wear—appear to have been remedied, leaving the car in a stable condition. At 16 years old, the Grand Voyager has accumulated roughly 8,400 miles per year, a rate that aligns with typical usage for its age. Mileage has risen steadily from 42,443 miles in June 2015 to 134,520 miles in December 2023, with only minor interruptions such as the duplicated 26 June 2015 test and the immediate pass following the July 2022 failure. Recurring issues centre on the front suspension arm pins and bushes, which have been flagged as worn or excessively worn in 2022 and 2023, and on the front shock absorbers, which show light oil misting in multiple tests, suggesting possible seal wear. Brake pad wear has been noted in 2013 and 2022, and the under‑trays fitted after the 2013 test obscure parts of the chassis, raising the need to inspect for structural rust or corrosion. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes and arm pins for play, verify that the shock absorbers are free of leaks, inspect brake discs and pads for wear, check tyre tread and overall tyre health, look for rust on the chassis rails and suspension mounting points, confirm that the TPMS warning lamp is off, and ensure that the gearbox mount and parking brake operate within specification.
