2014 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · WM63 GEK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 120,718 miles resulted in a pass, it flagged both front tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This follows a failure in August 2024 where a nearside rear brake pad was found dangerously thin, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure or immediate concern. At 120,718 miles over 12 years, the Grand Voyager has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a large MPV of this age. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 2,000 miles driven between the August 2024 and September 2025 tests. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for the condition of rubber components and seals within the braking system. A buyer must scrutinise the front shock absorbers closely, as these were flagged for light oil misting in both September 2022 and 2023. Although they did not cause a failure, the persistent misting over three years indicates the seals are degrading and eventual leakage is inevitable. The uneven wear noted on the front tyres in 2025 also points to a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional inspection to prevent rapid further wear of new rubber. The inspection should also verify the entire braking system to ensure the nearside rear pad replacement in late 2024 was handled with comprehensive attention. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, a physical check for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust system is essential, as these areas are common points of failure for this Chrysler model that are not explicitly detailed in the recent MOT advisories.
