2005 Chrysler Voyager 2.8L Petrol · OV05 NNF

This Chrysler Voyager last passed its MOT on 20 May 2022, with no defects recorded at that time. Given the vehicle’s age—now over four years since the most recent test—it is significantly overdue for a roadworthiness assessment. The absence of any advisories or failures in the single available MOT record suggests no immediate, flagged mechanical issues were detected at the time of testing. However, the lack of subsequent tests means critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers could now be beyond their expected lifespan, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The tester’s failure to note even minor advisories in 2022 implies either a clean inspection or that the vehicle was in a stable but unremarkable condition at that point. Without recent verification, buyers must treat this as a high-risk area for deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 180,162 miles over approximately 21 years equates to an average of around 8,600 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no intermediate MOT records to assess mileage trends or gaps, meaning it is impossible to determine whether the vehicle was driven consistently or stood unused for extended periods. Long periods of inactivity could accelerate issues like battery corrosion, suspension seal degradation, or brake fluid contamination, while consistent use might have masked early signs of wear. The lack of data also means there is no way to verify whether the vehicle underwent regular servicing or if critical fluids (coolant, brake fluid, differential oil) were changed according to manufacturer recommendations. Given the vehicle’s age and the absence of recent MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an immediate, thorough inspection of high-wear components. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play, cracking, or corrosion, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this era. Binding or unevenly worn brake calipers, coupled with corroded or warped brake discs, are also likely candidates for degradation over four years without testing. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be scrutinised for rust penetration, which can compromise the chassis. The exhaust system, particularly at joints and mounts, may also show signs of fatigue or leaks, given the lack of recent verification. Tyre condition, while not directly tied to the MOT record, should be confirmed as adequate tread depth and uniformity are critical for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
