2008 Chrysler GR-Voyager LTD CRD 160 A 2.8L Diesel · GV08 CXJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the recent maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the test in November 2025 at 126,882 miles, the failure just five days prior indicates a significant lapse in pre-test inspections. The trend is concerning as the vehicle recently suffered from multiple critical failures involving braking, lighting, and emissions, suggesting that components are only addressed when forced by a legal test failure. At 126,882 miles over 18 years, the Voyager has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical family usage for a vehicle of this age. However, the data shows a 10,000-mile gap between September 2024 and November 2025. This rapid accumulation of mileage combined with the subsequent failure in late 2025—where all four brake pads were found below the 1.5mm limit—suggests that the vehicle is driven long distances without adequate mechanical service intervals. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear sub-frame, as the November 2025 test flagged corrosion that, while not yet structurally weakened, is likely to progress on an older chassis. The history also shows recurring issues with suspension components, specifically the front suspension arm ball joints and track rod ends showing excessive wear in previous tests. You should check for any play in the steering or knocks over bumps, as the vehicle has a history of neglecting wear-and-tear items until they reach failure. The November 2025 failure due to an injector seal gas leak causing dangerous emissions is a serious mechanical concern that should be verified to ensure the repair was comprehensive. Given that the nearside rear brake disc was significantly worn and all pads were at out simultaneously, the entire braking system is likely nearing the end of its service life. The presence of child seats during the last test also prevented a full inspection of the seatbelts, meaning the buyer must manually verify the integrity and tension of all adult belts personally before purchasing.
