2009 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · GL59 UHM

The 2009 Chrysler Grand Voyager presents a mixed maintenance record, with the most recent MOT on 2026-04-02 confirming roadworthiness at 85,760 miles. However, a prior failure on 2026-04-01 at the same mileage suggests procedural inconsistency or minor non-compliance, though no defects were logged. The 2024 and 2023 tests similarly showed no defects, indicating a stable trend in critical systems. No major issues like corrosion, brake wear, or suspension failure are documented, but the absence of recorded defects does not preclude underlying concerns requiring physical inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 85,760 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 5,045 annual miles, a low figure for its age. Notable gaps exist between tests: 18 months elapsed between the 2023-02-18 test (79,270 miles) and 2024-08-02 (81,591 miles), followed by a 20-month gap until the 2026-04-02 test. This pattern may reflect periods of inactivity, increasing the risk of component degradation such as seized suspension bushes or brake caliper binding. The low mileage also raises questions about potential long-term storage effects, including rubber component aging or electrical system issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which can cause uneven tyre wear or handling issues. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as low usage can lead to seized parts. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body seams, warrants scrutiny for hidden rust, as MOT tests do not assess non-structural corrosion. The vehicle’s recent MOT history offers limited insight into these areas, necessitating a hands-on evaluation to confirm its mechanical soundness.
