2005 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · LC05 MWV

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred attention to wear items and steering components. While the most recent test in October 2021 at 87,850 miles passed, it introduced mechanical defects regarding the nearside front steering rack inner joints and thin rear brake pads. This indicates a shift from the clean record seen in 2018, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they approach failure limits rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 87,850 miles over 21 years, the Voyager has averaged only approximately 4,183 miles per year. This low annual usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear. There is a significant gap in the data between the 2021 test and the current date, five years, during which the vehicle covered barely 7,000 miles. This pattern, combined with previous reports of cracking tyre sidewalls in 2017, suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which risks seals drying and corrosion. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front steering assembly to address the play in the inner rack joints flagged in 2021. The recurring issues with thin brake pads and pitted discs across 2020, 2021, and 2019 imply the braking system requires a comprehensive overhaul to ensure safety. Given the low mileage and age, a physical check of suspension bushes and tyres for rot or cracking is essential, as these parts likely likely perished due to time regardless of the remaining tread depth.
