2005 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · RV05 SOU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the MOT history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. The most recent test on 28 September 2022 at 181,044 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just one day prior at nearly identical mileage. This trend repeated in 2021. The vehicle has consistently passed tests without recorded advisories, suggesting that the failures were likely related to minor, fixable items that were rectified instantly rather than a systemic mechanical or structural degradation. The mileage profile is consistent with a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The progression from 163,050 miles in September 2020 to 181,044 miles in September 2022 shows a steady usage pattern of roughly 9,000 miles over two years. However, there is a significant gap between the last recorded MOT in September 2022 and June June 2026. The vehicle has not been tested for nearly four years. This interval increases the risk of undetected wear on perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or developing corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and wheel arches for rust, which is common in this model. Given the high mileage and the time elapsed since the last test, inspection of the suspension bushes and control arms is essential to identify excessive play. The braking system should also be checked for binding or thin discs, as the record provides no recent advisories to warn of the state of these consumables after a long period of operation.
