2005 Chrysler Voyager 2.8L Diesel · KS55 CVV

The vehicle presents a concerning state of roadworthiness with a trend of worsening structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test in March 2025 at 128,021 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior that revealed critical structural weaknesses. The record indicates a persistent issue with excessive corrosion on the offside front suspension mounting area and inner sill, which directly reduces structural integrity. The presence of recurring faults related to the steering and braking systems suggests a reactive rather than preventative maintenance approach. At 128,021 miles over 21 years, the Voyager averages approximately 6,100 miles per year, which is consistent with low-use patterns for a large MPV. However, the data shows very little movement between March 2023 and March 2025, with only 1,391 miles recorded over two years. This period of low usage, combined with the reported corrosion on brake pipes and shock absorbers, explains the rapid deterioration of rubber components and metal lines which are prone to seizing and rot despite the low overall mileage figure. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the outer sills and suspension mounting points, as the tester previously flagged structural thinning that requires welding repairs. The steering system remains a major point of concern given the history of excessive play in the steering rack inner joints and track rod ends across multiple tests. Furthermore, the braking system requires close attention due to corroded brake pipes covered in grease, which is often a tactic used to hide deep-seated rust from inspectors. Given the history of binding rear brakes and parking brake adjustment, the entire hydraulic circuit and mechanical handbrake should be verified for functionality and safety.
