2006 Chrysler Grand Voyager 3.3L Petrol · FE06 GUJ

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend that appears to be worsening despite passing its most recent MOT on 20 July 2026 at 101,293 miles. While the vehicle is technically roadworthy, the latest inspection flagged a significant volume of recurring advisories that suggest a progressive decline in component integrity. The most recent test identified multiple deteriorating CV boots, steering rack gaiters, and power steering seepage, alongside widespread corrosion on the inner sills, front and rear subframes, and Macpherson struts. These issues are not isolated incidents but represent a long-term pattern of structural and mechanical degradation. The mileage history indicates a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 5,065 miles per year over its twenty-year lifespan. This low annual mileage is evident in the jump from 95,992 miles in July 2023 to 100,863 miles in June 2025, suggesting periods of limited use. While low mileage can imply less drivetrain wear, it often correlates with the type of age-related deterioration seen here, such as perished rubber components, cracking tyres, and advancing corrosion due to lack of regular road use and exposure to moisture. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's underside, specifically focusing on the structural integrity of the sills and subframes. The MOT history shows a persistent presence of corrosion that has moved from minor areas like jacking points in 2022 to more significant concerns involving the inner sills and subframes in 2026. The recurring issues with the steering rack gaiters and CV boots, which have been flagged consistently since at least 2017, suggest that minor preventative maintenance has been neglected, potentially leading to more expensive failures in the steering and drive systems. Mechanical attention should also be directed toward the exhaust system and power steering. The record shows a history of exhaust leaks and defective mountings dating back to 2021, with a minor leak persisting in the 2026 test. Furthermore, the power steering seepage noted in 2019 has remained a constant presence through to the most recent test. Given the age and the documented presence of oil and power steering leaks, a buyer should prepare for inevitable repairs to the steering rack and various seals to ensure long-term reliability.
