2005 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · RJ54 XSL

The most recent MOT on 2 June 2023 at 135,232 miles recorded a failure, yet the inspection sheet listed no defects. The preceding tests in May 2023, September 2021 and earlier all show no recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance record, but the repeated failures suggest latent mechanical issues that have not been addressed. The vehicle, a 2005 Chrysler Grand Voyager, has travelled 135,232 miles over 21 years, averaging roughly 6,440 miles annually, which is typical for its age. The interval between the September 2021 test at 123,650 miles and the June 2023 test at 135,232 miles covers 11,582 miles in just under two years, showing consistent usage without prolonged periods of standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brakes for binding calipers, and examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion. The chassis and structural members should be checked for rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, and the exhaust system and emissions components should be verified for integrity. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition merit attention, as frequent replacement may reflect basic upkeep neglect.
