2011 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · R6 CTN

The most recent MOT on 2024-03-13 recorded a passing result with an "oil leak, but not excessive" (8.4.1 (a) (i)) noted. This aligns with a long-standing pattern of recurring oil leaks, which have been documented in every MOT since 2021. The 2023-03-20 failure included additional issues: a non-functional Engine MIL (8.2.2.2 (g)) and excessive play in the offside front track rod end (2.1.3 (b) (i)). These were resolved by 2023-03-22, but the oil leak persists, indicating a chronic issue. The trend shows no improvement in the oil leak, which has remained "not excessive" across multiple inspections. While this suggests the leak is not immediately critical, its recurrence over five years implies ongoing maintenance needs. The track rod end issue was addressed, but the lack of follow-up mentions in later MOTs means its resolution is uncertain. The Engine MIL failure in 2023-03-20 raises concerns about potential undiagnosed engine faults, though no further details were recorded. The vehicle’s mileage of 152,906 miles (10,194 per year) is typical for its 15-year age, suggesting average usage rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity. However, the persistent oil leak could signal aging seals or gaskets, which may worsen over time.
