Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Good

Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Automatic gearbox shift quality and valve-body wear(Serious)
Grand Voyagers are hard on their automatic transmissions, and delayed engagement, harsh shifts or flaring between gears can quickly lead to expensive repairs.
- 2.8 CRD injector, EGR and turbo trouble(Serious)
The diesel can suit the Voyager well, but injector leaks, EGR fouling and turbo wear are common on neglected high-mileage family workhorses.
- Sliding-door and central-locking loom faults(Moderate)
Powered sliding doors and central locking are part of the Grand Voyager’s appeal, but loom breaks, latch faults and tired door modules are very common as the cars age.
