2008 Chrysler Voyager 2.8L Diesel · RV58 ADX

The 2008 Chrysler Voyager’s most recent MOT on 2023-07-19 at 151,563 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status as of that date. However, the vehicle has a history of MOT failures in 2022 and 2021, including a failure on 2022-07-08 at 138,534 miles and another on 2021-07-05 at 125,510 miles, though no specific defects were noted. These failures suggest intermittent compliance issues, but the absence of recorded faults in the latest test implies that any prior problems may have been resolved. The lack of recurring mechanical advisories in the most recent report is positive, though the three-year gap since the last MOT raises concerns about potential undetected deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage of 151,563 miles over 18 years equates to an average of 8,420 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT record include a 19-day period between the 2021-07-05 failure and the subsequent 2021-07-08 pass, which may indicate rushed repairs or incomplete diagnostics. The 13,024-mile increase between the 2021-07-08 pass (125,528 miles) and the 2022-07-26 pass (138,547 miles) suggests accelerated usage, potentially stressing components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions systems. The sparse defect data limits definitive conclusions but highlights the need for a thorough mechanical inspection to verify the vehicle’s condition. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these are common wear points in older vans. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny given the history of MOT failures, even without recorded defects. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body panels, should also be assessed for corrosion or damage, as these issues often emerge in vehicles of this age. The absence of detailed fault records means a physical inspection is critical to confirm the vehicle’s safety and identify any hidden issues not reflected in the MOT history.
