2007 Chrysler Voyager 2.8L Diesel · SW07 MKD

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a trend of worsening structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 133,169 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior due to critical structural defects. The tester identified significant corrosion on both sills that reduced the rigidity of the front outer integral body structure. Although these major issues appear addressed, the recurring nature of faults in the braking system and suspension components suggests a maintenance regime that is reactive to MOT failures rather than proactive preventative care. At 133,169 miles over 19 years, the Voyager averages approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-use family vehicle patterns. However, the mileage data shows a gap of over 5,500 miles between January 2024 and July 2025. This relatively low usage has not protected the vehicle from age-related decay. The record notes front tyres being over ten years old during the 2025 test, indicating that rubber components have likely perished due to time exposure despite the low distance driven. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the integrity of the underbody, as the history shows a progression from general underbody corrosion to specific structural failures in the sills. The buyer should verify that the repairs following the July 2025 failure are sound and not merely cosmetic. The braking system remains a persistent point of failure, with records of binding calipers, pitted discs, and a parking brake that only just met the legal efficiency threshold. Furthermore, the repeated misting of front shock absorbers and previous reports of worn suspension bushes and track rod ends suggest the suspension geometry is nearing the end of its operational life.
