2011 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · OV60 DPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in reactive repairs. While it passed the most recent test in May 2026 at 90,208 miles, it had failed just one day prior with multiple critical safety defects. The tester identified dangerously thin front brake pads and weakened discs, alongside three tyres below legal tread limits and a leaking offside rear shock absorber. This suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 90,208 miles over 15 years, the Voyager has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-use family vehicle patterns. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage with roughly 3,000 miles driven between April 2025 and May 2026. However, the low mileage does not correlate with high mechanical standards, as the recurring issues with tyre wear and brake degradation across the 2024 and 2025 tests indicate that components are being run to their failure despite the low total distance driven. A buyer must meticulously inspect the braking system and suspension components in person. The record shows a history of thinning pads, pitted discs, and a binding offside brake in 2025, which indicates potential caliper sticking or neglected hydraulic attention. The fluid leak on the rear shock absorber noted in 2026 requires a check of the remaining dampers for similar signs of failure. Given the consistent reports of uneven tyre wear across multiple years, a professional wheel alignment check should be conducted to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature failure of new tyres.
